With absolutely minimal ingredients this Red Wine Spritzers comes together in minutes. Flavorful, simple and absolutely refreshing.
I love myself a good glass of wine, but sometimes I like to switch it up every now and again. This Red Wine Spritzer is what I do when I want something just slightly different than a glass.
These are the most simple drinks you will ever make, trust me. You only need technically 3 ingredients and that is all, and they are easy to find.
When we host gatherings we like to serve these as an optional drink, you can also make them with white wine but we absolutely love the red.
With the robust flavor of the wine itself, it is one of my favorite drinks out there. I know some people are not a fan, but these are absolutely delicious.
Although this is one of the simplest drink recipes that you will come across, it does not lack in flavor, with them topped off with a little club soda it makes them nice and bubbly.
Garnish with some oranges and you have yourself not only a tasty drink but an absolutely beautiful drink. We like to use crushed or pebble ice for this recipe as it makes it prettier.
But regular ice will work just fine, so you can absolutely use whatever you like! There are no set rules when it comes to choosing your ice, that is the least of your worries.
