This is a wonderfully refreshing Blood Orange Lime Wine Spritzer. This simple winetail has a lot of character with its slight fizz from the sparkling water, sweet blood orange flavor and the perfect amount of sourness from the lime.
This is the perfect drink for socializing because with just wine it’s too easy to drink more. This is a great way enjoy something to drink without getting buzzed too fast!
Here is what Wikipedia has to say about spritzers “The word comes from the German spritzen “spatter, squirt, spray, sprinkle”, i.e. adding water and thus diluting the wine so that it can be consumed in larger, thirst-quenching amounts.”
