Ingredients

Gin – A clear spirit with a juniper berry flavor that we love using for this recipe! It is made by distilling fermented grains and adding botanical ingredients for flavor. The beautiful notes and botanicals in the gin add a lot of flavor to this spritz.

Jam – You can use any flavor jam you like! That’s what’s so great about this recipe, is that you can easily change the flavor of the drink. We love to use strawberry, blackberry, and grape.

Lemon-Lime Sparkling Water or Low Sugar Soda – This is what gives the drink the spritz! If you can’t find the lemon-lime combination, either lemon or lime sparkling water will work. We used Betty Buzz for this recipe.

Gin Spritz Recipe Alternatives

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.

I you prefer a sweeter drink, add in a dash of simple syrup.
