Tips & Tricks
A few things to keep in mind when you're whipping these up for your next soiree.
1: any white wine will work - even an oaky chardonnay! Use whatever you have on hand and don't worry if it's an inexpensive bottle - it's all going to be delish. I am living for a Sancerre at the moment.
2: make sure the wine is chilled and same goes for the sparkling water.
3: load it up with plenty of lemons! And other type of fruit would be great too. If you have some cherries laying around, add them! Peaches, why not! Any summer fruit would be an excellent addition to this White White Spritzer.
Variations and Substitutions
