Ingredients

  • 750 ml bottle sparkling rose wine I used a Brut
  • 1 cup strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 orange sliced
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • ½ cup raspberries
  • 1 lime sliced
  • ½ cup sugar
  • Lemon-lime soda

Instructions

  • Combine first 7 ingredients in a pitcher and chill 4-6 hours.
  • Pour into glasses and top with lemon-lime soda.

Notes

  1. Selecting Sparkling Wine: Choose a sparkling rosé wine that complements the fruity flavors of the berries and citrus. A brut rosé offers a dry and crisp profile, but you can also opt for a sweeter sparkling wine if you prefer a slightly sweeter spritzer. The wine's acidity and effervescence will enhance the overall refreshing nature of the drink.
  2. Infusing Flavors: Allowing the wine and fruits to chill together for 4-6 hours allows the flavors to meld and infuse, resulting in a more harmonious and flavorful spritzer. The sugars from the fruits will subtly sweeten the wine while imparting their natural fruity essence. Consider gently muddling some of the fruits before chilling to release more flavor into the wine.
  3. Balancing Sweetness: Depending on the sweetness of your wine and personal taste preferences, adjust the amount of sugar added to the pitcher accordingly. Taste the mixture before chilling and adding sugar, as some wines may already have sufficient sweetness from the fruits. Add sugar gradually, stirring and tasting until you achieve the desired level of sweetness. When serving, top each glass with lemon-lime soda to add a touch of effervescence and balance out the flavors.
