  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 7 servings

Ingredients

White Wine Simple Syrup

  • 1 cup white wine (sauvignon blanc recommended)
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Blueberry Lemon Mixture

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Spritzer

  • 24 ounces sparkling water (such as Topo Chico), or more as needed
  • Ice, for serving
  • Fresh mint sprigs and lemon wheels, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the White Wine Simple Syrup: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup white wine and 1/4 cup sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool. Once cooled, transfer it to a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Prepare the Blueberry Lemon Mixture: In another saucepan, add 2 cups fresh blueberries and the zest of one large lemon. Pour in 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a low boil over medium to medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 6 to 8 minutes until the berries soften and burst.
  3. Cool the Mixture: Remove the saucepan from the heat. To cool quickly, set the pan inside a large bowl filled about one-third to one-half with ice and cold water. Once cool, remove and discard the lemon rinds.
  4. Puree the Mixture: Transfer the cooled blueberry lemon mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Ensure the liquid is cool before blending to prevent damage or splattering.
  5. Strain the Puree: Place a mesh strainer over a large liquid measuring cup and strain the pureed mixture to remove seeds and pulp. Pour the strained liquid into a pitcher.
  6. Combine with White Wine Syrup: Add all of the white wine simple syrup to the pitcher and stir well to combine the flavors.
  7. Assemble the Spritzer: Fill glasses with ice. Pour the blueberry wine mixture halfway up the glass, then top off with sparkling water. Adjust quantity of sparkling water to taste.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Optionally garnish each glass with fresh mint sprigs and lemon wheels for an extra touch of color and aroma. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing spritzer.

Notes

  • The white wine simple syrup can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Adjust the amount of sparkling water based on how strong or light you prefer your spritzer.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the white wine with grape juice and omit the syrup step or use a sugar simple syrup instead.
  • Make sure to puree the mixture only when it’s completely cooled to avoid blender damage and to prevent raw fruit flavors.
  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor; frozen can be used but will alter texture slightly.
