This 3-ingredient gin spritz is my go-to cocktail! Just gin, jam, and bubbles. It’s easy, fizzy, and so fun. The jam adds the perfect hint of sweetness and color, and you can switch it up with whatever flavor you’re into that day.

Gin Spritz Recipe

This recipe is a take on my classic gin and jam cocktail. After making gin and jam for years, I wanted to switch it up and give it some spritz! Here’s why I love it!

Only 3 ingredients: Nothing fussy here—just gin, jam, and something bubbly!

Customize the flavor: Blackberry, raspberry, fig… use your fave jam.

Instant charm: It looks fancy with zero effort (just add edible flowers and fruit).

Perfect anytime drink: Works for happy hour, brunch, or impromptu guests.

Gin Spritz Ingredients

Gin: Go for something botanical and smooth—it plays so well with jam.

Jam: Any flavor you love! I rotate between strawberry, blackberry, and grape.

Sparkling Water or Soda: Lemon-lime is perfect, but any citrus fizz works. I used Betty Buzz!

Recipe Tips & Variations

Jam It Up: Use any jam you love—raspberry, peach, or blueberry all give a delicious twist.

Swap the Spirit: Not into gin? Vodka works perfectly for a smoother, cleaner sip.

Fizz Matters: Try lemon-lime soda, tonic water, or sparkling water with a splash of citrus.

Garnish Like a Pro: Top with fresh berries, citrus peel, edible flowers,, or a sprig of mint for extra charm.

Notes

If you don’t have gin on hand, or if you’re not a fan of the flavor, you can easily make this recipe with vodka. Just substitute the gin for vodka and you’ll have a delicious spritz that’s just as refreshing.
You could also try different flavors of jam to change the flavor of the drink. raspberry, blueberry, or peach would all be delicious!
Use different lemon-lime drinks to see what you like the best.
Add in a dash of flavored liqueur, like lemon or peach.
If you don’t have lemon-lime soda you can use club soda or tonic water with fresh lemon juice.
