    Five Sensational Summer Wine Spritzers

    6
    By Alisa Fleming on July 18, 2015 Beverages, Dairy-Free Recipes

    Many of the great indulgences in life can be naturally dairy-free, like wine (see note below). So I thought it would be fun to share these adult-only summer wine spritzers as refreshing, casual inspiration for your next pool party, baseball game or backyard barbecue.

    Sensational Summer Wine Spritzers - 5 Recipes! (Melon Mint-jito, Summer Lovin', Refreshing Red Sangria, Perfectly Pink Punch and Sangria Spritz)

    These recipes and photos for summer wine spritzers were shared with us by Barefoot Cellars, but this is not a sponsored post. I just thought they would be fun to share! If you can’t locate their Refresh Spritzers for these recipes, then use this formula…

    Easy, Baseline Wine Spritzer

    • 1 part club soda (250 mL for a full bottle)
    • 2 parts wine of choice (500 mL for a full bottle)

    Stir those two ingredients into any of the recipes below in place of the pre-made wine spritzer. Of course, you will want to match the type of wine … white for a white white spritzer, blush for a pink one, etc.

    Sensational Summer Wine Spritzers - 5 Recipes! (Melon Mint-jito, Summer Lovin', Refreshing Red Sangria, Perfectly Pink Punch and Sangria Spritz)

    Special Diet Notes: Summer Wine Spritzers

    By ingredients, the recipes below are dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, peanut-free, soy-free, vegan / plant-based, and vegetarian.

    That said, use caution when selecting the wine for these summer wine spritzers. Some wineries use top allergens for fining agents, such as casein (milk protein), gluten or egg protein. It isn’t extremely common in the U.S., but does happen. See my Guide to Dairy-Free Alcohol for more details.

    Need a sugar-free option? I haven’t tried it as of yet, but NuNaturals now makes a Stevia Simple Syrup.

      I’m so happy I stumbled across your blog! I’m having a dinner party with some high school friends and wanted to make a fun drink for the night, instead of serving them hard liquor, since they have a bit of drive. That Refreshing Red Summer Sangria looks perfect!

      They all sound so yummy. With all the cocktails I’ve made (and posted) I have never done wine spritzers before…I think that needs to change now 🙂
