What is a spritzer?

A spritzer is a refreshing drink that combines wine or spirits with carbonated water. A rosé spritzer is made with, you guessed it, rosé wine! This light and fruity wine are perfect for making cocktails. It is also a popular choice for summer drinking, as it is refreshing and not too heavy.

How To Make a Rosé Spritzer

Ingredients

Rosé wine – A good rose wine to use for a spritzer is a dry rosé. This type of wine is light and refreshing and will not overpower the other flavors in the drink. You also don’t need to spend a lot of money on wine when making a spritz.

Club Soda – Often used in cocktails because it adds bubbles and a refreshing and light flavor. It’s also called sparkling water or seltzer water. You can use flavored soda water to make this recipe too.

Orange liqueur – A type of sweet alcohol that is made with a blend of cognac (brandy), sugar, and distilled essence of bitter orange. It is often used in cocktails and has a sweet, bitter, and citrus flavor.

Add the soda water.

Pour the orange liqueur next.

Stir everything together and garnish with lemon slices and edible flowers.

Rose Spritzer Recipe Variations

There are many ways that you can change up this recipe to suit your taste. Here are a few ideas:

  • Use a different flavored liqueur in place of the orange liqueur like an elderflower liqueur such as St. Germain.
  • Try flavored carbonated water, such as lemon, orange, or grapefruit.
  • Use a different type of wine, such as white wine for a white wine spritzer or red wine for a red wine spritzer.
  • Add some fresh fruit to the drink for extra flavor. We like to add lemon and fresh strawberries.
  • For more flavor, use ginger ale instead of soda water.
  • Garnish with a sprig of rosemary or a slice of lemon.

Tips for Making the Best Rosé Spritz

Chill the ingredients for this drink. The colder the temperature of the wine the better flavor and more bubbles. Also, make sure the soda water is chilled too.

No need for an expensive bottle, but you should still use a good-quality rosé wine. This recipe is only as good as the ingredients you use. So, make sure to use a wine that you would drink on its own.

Start with less alcohol and add more to taste. You can always add more, but you can’t take it away.

If you want a sweeter drink, add a little agave nectar or simple syrup to taste.

This recipe is for one drink. However, you can easily make a pitcher of rosé spritzers for a party. Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of people you are serving.
