White wine spritzers
My drink of choice in summer since the mid-90s and now making a comeback! Just add ice and soda to white wine along with some lemon/mint/rosemary/whatever you have to hand…a 'recipe' so easy and delicious you can memorize.

Ingredients
- 2 parts white wine
- 1 part soda water
- handful ice
- lemon peel or mint, to garnish (optional)
Method
Put the ice in the glass, pour in chilled wine and top up with soda water. Garnish if feeling like it – twist of lemon peel, sprig of mint
Recipe Tips
Proportions are up to you but I do mostly wine (two parts) to soda (one part) and plenty of ice. Use an inexpensive, neutral white wine, preferably dry if that’s what you like, such as pinot grigio, soave, chenin blanc and chardonnay.
