Red, White + Blue Wine Spritzer

4th of July is here! Whether you’re hanging in your backyard or on the river, lake, or beach, you need to have something delicious to sip on all day long!

I love a good wine spritzer because you can enjoy it throughout the day. This recipe from Fox and Briar is just what we’ve all been looking for. Plus, I’ve never seen a more patriotic drink! A spritzer is a little lighter than a sangria, but still can be dressed up with beautiful fruit floating in the pitcher + your glass.

God bless America and CHEERS! Recipe below.

Red, White, + Blue Wine Spritzer

Recipe from Fox and Briar

Ingredients

  • One 750 ml bottle white wine, such as Pinot Grigio

  • 1 liter sparkling water

  • 1 pound strawberries sliced

  • 1 cup blueberries

  • 1-2 apples

Instructions

  1. Slice the apple into thin rounds and cut out stars using a small star cookie cutter.

  2. Add the apple stars, blueberries and strawberries to a pitcher and pour in the wine.  Refrigerate overnight.

  3. When ready to serve, add ice to the pitcher and top with sparkling water to taste (start with half of my sparkling water to top off the pitcher).  Alternately you could top each glass off with the sparkling water individually to make sure each glass is extra fizzy.

  4. To serve, spoon some fruit into a glass filled with ice, top with wine spritzer.

Notes:

  • You can add more or less sparkling water to your preferred taste.

  • Keep in mind this only uses one bottle of wine, so if you are having more than a few guests you might want to multiply the recipe.
