The definition of Spritzer

An alcoholic Spritzer, in its most basic and traditional form, is just dry white wine and soda mixed together. There’s no official recipe for the Spritzer, and the ratios change according to personal taste. It can vary from 1:1 wine to soda and up to 3:1 wine to soda water. These are great drinks served in a wine glass filled with ice (or without) when you’re looking for a low alcohol fix.  

There’s also the Italian Spritz, a more evolved version of the Spritzer. We have to mention the Spritz because people often confuse the two, and although similar, they’re not the same at all. The traditional Spritz uses a standard recipe (which you can find on the list of official IBA cocktails) with equal parts prosecco and Aperol with a splash of soda water. Today, more modern Spritz cocktails are trending all over the globe, and we love it.  But that’s not what this recipe is about!
