Citrus Peach Red Wine Spritzer and more Summer Sips

Citrus Peach Red Wine Spritzer is a refreshing fruity summer cocktail with just four simple ingredients.

There are only four ingredients in this drink besides crushed ice:
- red wine (I chose a local cabernet sauvignon)
- orange bitters (look in the liquor department of your grocery store)
- fresh peach slices (or frozen to replace some of the ice)
- peach or citrus soda or flavored sparkling water

What kind of wine to use for a red wine spritzer?

What kind of red wine do you like?

Martha Stewart suggests Pinot Noir, Grenache or Gamay. I used a local Cabernet Sauvignon, because I prefer a dry wine with this. If you want it sweet use a Lambrusco or a Zinfandel.

If you really don't like red wine, go for your favorite white or rose.

What kind of soda would be good in a wine spritzer?

This is NOT a sponsored post! I originally made this with Peach Citrus Fresca and it was the perfect match. But, then Covid hit. I haven't been able to find it since.

As a replacement you can use any citrus flavored soda, and maybe some peach nectar (juice) for a little extra peachiness.

Or go for more peach flavor and use a peach soda or sparkling water and a few more dashes of the bitters.
