Rosé Spritzer (Sparkling Rosé Wine Cocktail)
Why this recipe works
- Crisp and refreshing: Dry rosé and sparkling water keep the drink light, clean and easy to sip.
- Bright citrus lift: A squeeze of lemon sharpens the fruitiness of the wine without making the drink sweet.
- Built in the glass: There is no shaking or mixing equipment required; the drink is assembled directly over ice and served straight away.

Ingredient notes
- Choose a dry rosé: A crisp, dry rosé gives the spritzer structure and stops it tasting overly sweet once diluted.
- Keep the sparkling water unsweetened: Unsweetened sparkling water preserves the clean, aperitif-style finish.
Timing notes
- Chill before mixing: Cold rosé, cold sparkling water and a chilled glass help the drink stay crisp without relying on excess ice.
- Serve immediately: Assemble just before drinking so the bubbles stay lively and the ice does not over-dilute the wine.
Cocktail variations
- Add fresh fruit: A few berries, a slice of peach or extra citrus can add a seasonal accent without changing the drink’s light character.
- Add a herb garnish: Mint, basil or thyme can bring a subtle aromatic note that works well with dry rosé.
- Use flavoured sparkling water: Choose an unsweetened citrus or berry sparkling water for a gentle flavour twist.
Alcohol-free alternatives
- Use alcohol-free rosé: Swap in a chilled alcohol-free rosé and build the drink the same way for a similar sparkling serve.
- Make it fully sparkling: For a wine-free version, combine alcohol-free rosé-style drink with sparkling water and finish with lemon.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Chill the rosé and sparkling water well. Fill a wine glass with the ice.

Recipe notes
Tips
- For the brightest, most refreshing spritzer, chill the glass for a few minutes before building the drink.
- Pour the sparkling water down the side of the glass to keep the bubbles lively.
Substitutions
- Replace Sparkling Water with flavoured sparkling water for a subtle twist, keeping it unsweetened so the drink stays crisp.
Storage
- Best made and served immediately. If needed, keep the rosé and sparkling water chilled in the fridge and assemble just before drinking so it stays fizzy.
