It's simple enough to make in just minutes! And you can serve this wine cocktail for any happy hour, party (like a bridal shower), or whenever the heck you want.
Ingredients
You should be able to find all of these ingredients at your local grocery store or liquor store.
Here are my favorite sauvignon blancs from New Zealand that are under $20 and any of these would be perfect in this wine spritzer recipe.
You can also use other types of wine for this recipe if you don't have sauvignon blanc. While I would stay away from chardonnay because it is too bold for the elderflower liqueur, you can try using something like pinot grigio or something sweeter like riesling.
You can also try sparkling wine to make it a more traditional spritz (flavor, sparkling wine and club soda).
Also, you can make this with sparkling water instead of club soda. They are essentially the same thing.
