Spritzer | Local Wine Cocktail From Austria, Central Europe | TasteAtlas

Spritzer

The light and bubbly Spritzer is a refreshing beverage made with a combination of white wine and club soda. Although there is a story about its possible Hungarian origin, it is typically dismissed as a legend, and most sources claim that it originated in 19th-century Austria, when it was invented as a way to create bubbly wine.


Spritzers are usually prepared in a tall glass with 3 parts white wine and 1 part club soda, and the beverage is especially popular during summertime. The name is derived from the German word spritzen, which means spray, squirt, or spatter, referring to the practice of diluting the wine with water.
