Ingredients

Red Wine – You can use any red wine of your choice to make this spritzer. The better your wine is, the better the taste of your spritzer.
Club Soda – Club soda adds that perfect fizz to the wine and also dilutes it to 25 to 50 percent.
Orange Peels & Mint – To garnish the wine spritzer, we will use some orange peels and mint leaves, which also adds a refreshing flavor. If not peels, even thin round orange slices work well for garnishing.
You can also add in some berries like raspberries or blueberries.
