What is a vodka spritzer?

Generally, a spritzer refers to a wine spritzer- a mixed drink that combines white wine and soda water. A vodka spritzer replaces the wine with vodka and fruit or fruit juice, simple syrup or another sweetener.

Can you make it ahead?

Since this cocktail is made with sparkling water, you can't make it ahead - but you definitely can make the syrup ahead!!!

Can I use other fruits or fruit syrups?

Absolutely - that's one of the best things about this cocktail!! Feel free to make the raspberry syrup or if you're pressed for time, buy a premade syrup. You can even skip the syrup and simply crush up some fruit and add a little simple syrup to taste.

💭 Top tip

Mixing drinks for a crowd can be a challenge so let your guests mix their own! This is always a hit and a great ice breaker!

Here's how:

  • Set out ice, glasses, vodka, raspberry syrup and sparkling water (or plain club soda) and some pretty straws.
  • Add a card with the instructions for your guests to follow.

Variations

As I said, there are almost infinite ways to flavor this cocktail!

  • Grenadine - substitute this pomegranate flavored syrup for the raspberry syrup for a deeper and richer flavor - perfect for the holidays.
  • Fresh Fruit and simple syrup - grab a few strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, or peach slices, crush them in a glass, add ice, some simple syrup to taste, vodka, and sparkling water!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ oz. vodka
  • 1 oz. Raspberry syrup
  • 3 oz. club soda
  • 1 sprig mint optional

Instructions

  • Fill a rocks, collins or wine glass with ice cubes. Add the raspberry mint syrup and vodka and top with sparkling water or club soda.
  • Add a straw or straws and stir to mix. Garnish with mint if using and serve. 

Recipe Notes

 
  1. I used raspberry sparkling water in this vodka spritzer but you could easily use club soda if that is what you have! I wouldn't however use sparkling mineral water since mineral waters tend to have a "minerally taste" which I'm not fond of in this cocktail! 
  2. Making this for a crowd? Although you can't really make it ahead of time, you could easily let  your guests make their own! Set out the vodka, syrup, sparkling water with plenty of ice and glasses. Write out the instructions and place next to the ingredients. This is always a hit at parties and is a great ice breaker!!
