Notes
Note: Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup based on your taste preference.
For an extra flavor boost, muddle a few fresh rosemary leaves with the lemon juice before mixing. This enhances the herb’s aromatic qualities.
If you’re looking for a non-alcoholic option, simply skip the wine and increase the club soda. Alternatively, add a splash of your favorite sparkling juice for a fruity twist.
Store any leftover spritzer in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but consume within a few hours for the best fizz.
