Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup white wine (preferably Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 0.5 cup club soda (chilled)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or simple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 3 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 2 slices thinly sliced lime rounds
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Gather all your ingredients and ensure the wine and club soda are well-chilled for maximum refreshment.
In a large wine glass or a highball glass, add the ice cubes to keep the drink cold.
Pour 1 cup of white wine into the glass over the ice cubes.
Add 0.5 cup of chilled club soda to the wine, allowing the fizzy carbonation to meld with the wine.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice for a citrusy punch. If you prefer a touch of sweetness, mix in 1 teaspoon of honey or simple syrup at this point.
Gently crush 2 of the mint leaves between your fingers to release their aromatic oils, then drop them into the glass. Reserve the remaining mint leaf for garnish.
Add 2 thin lime slices to the drink for a fresh and decorative touch.
Give the mixture a light stir and garnish with the remaining mint leaf on the rim of the glass.
Serve immediately and enjoy your calming Zen Wine Spritzer.
