Substitute for club soda or sparkling h20 in wine spritzers?

Question

Hi everyone. Hope you're having a nice weekend. My husband and I are going camping for my birthday weekend.

I want to surprise him by serving wine spritzers tomorrow afternoon. Could I use pure lemon and lime juice instead of soda or sparkling h20? Maybe add a little sugar?

Answer 1

it will taste pretty good, but it wont be the same. you need that extra fizz/carbonation for it to truley be a spritzer.. or else you just have lemon flavored wine.

Answer 2

You need something with fizz, hon. Any lemon and lime soda would work, or even gingerale. It's the carbonation in the sparkling water, club soda, etc. that makes a spritzer a spritzer.

Answer 3

I would use sprite or 7-up....something like that to substitute for the cloub soda or sparkling h20!...you want the carbonation in a spritzer

Answer 4

i don't like the idea of lemon in wine,coke and wine is good together. Or orangina and a bubbly,maybe it would go good with wine too because it is kinda carbonated.

Have fun:)
