Enjoy this light, fruity cocktail without any of the guilt. With just 100 calories per serving, you can enjoy these sugar-free spritzers at your next party!
Spring is finally here! It’s time for me to put the red wine aside and start making some light, fun cocktails. I am so seasonal with my wine. Once the weather warms up, I immediately want white wine. I am not a huge drinker, so I love the idea of adding some seltzer to save some calories and some muddled fruit for natural sweetness. I put stevia in the recipe, but only as an option if you feel like you need it a little sweeter.
These are also so easy to make (even though they look pretty fancy). The best part of these spritzers is that they are so pretty! They are a huge crowd pleaser too (think Easter, Mother’s Day….)
I just love these colors!

March 30, 2015 at 1:20 pmThis is so pretty! I actually have a spritzer similar to this coming up this week and I could not get enough of the stuff. There is seriously nothing better than fresh berries…yum!
