Weinschorle Is The German Wine Spritzer That Requires Only 2 Ingredients
BY NIKITA EPHANOV
A German Weinschorle is a type of wine spritzer that only employs two ingredients: white wine and carbonated water. A dry or semi-dry white wine expression is recommended.
The two are mixed in varying deviations, stemming from one part wine to water. It's all about customizing the ideal balance, which depends on the booze employed.
A good place to start is with a German wine like Reisling or Pinot Gris. Add more water or wine according to your taste, and consider garnishing with fresh grapes.
If your spritzer needs more oomph, consider incorporating fresh lemon or lime, mint leaves, or syrup. You can also swap the white wine for a red or rosé.
