Ingredients

For one Strawberry Sunrise Spritz, gather:

3-4 fresh strawberries
1 oz vodka
1/2 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
2 oz prosecco
Club soda
Ice
Strawberry slice and lemon twist for garnish

Fresh strawberries give the best flavor.

Instructions

Wash and hull strawberries. Put them in the shaker.
Muddle strawberries gently to release juice.
Add vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.

Fill shaker with ice and shake for 10-15 seconds.
Strain into a tall glass filled with ice.
Pour in prosecco and top with a splash of club soda.

Stir gently with a bar spoon.
Garnish with a strawberry slice and lemon twist.

Serve right away while the drink is cold and bubbly.

Notes

This recipe is easy to scale up for a crowd. You can make a big batch of the strawberry mixture ahead of time, then add prosecco and club soda when serving.

For a non-alcoholic version, skip the vodka and prosecco. Use more club soda instead.

You can also swap out strawberries for other berries like raspberries or blackberries. This changes the flavor and color of the drink.

If you don’t have fresh strawberries, use 1 oz of strawberry puree or syrup. This works in a pinch but won’t taste as fresh.

Tasting Notes

The Strawberry Sunrise Spritz offers a bright and refreshing flavor profile. Its taste is sweet and fruity, with a subtle tartness from the fresh strawberries.

The cocktail has a light, effervescent texture due to the sparkling wine. This bubbly quality makes it feel crisp and lively on the palate.

Flavor elements include:

Sweet strawberry
Citrusy orange
Light floral notes
Gentle alcohol warmth

The drink has a pale pink hue and a pleasant aroma of ripe strawberries. Its taste is not overly sweet, with the dry sparkling wine balancing out the fruit flavors.

The finish is clean and crisp, leaving a subtle strawberry aftertaste. This cocktail is best enjoyed chilled to enhance its refreshing qualities.

Substitute

Can’t find strawberries? No problem. Other berries work well in this cocktail too. Raspberries add a tart kick, while blueberries bring a sweeter flavor. Blackberries offer a rich, deep taste.

For a non-berry option, try peaches or nectarines. These stone fruits give the drink a mellow sweetness. Mango chunks create a tropical twist.

Don’t have fresh fruit? Frozen works just as well. Thaw slightly before using.

For the sparkling wine, any dry bubbly will do. Prosecco, cava, or a dry sparkling rosé are good choices.

No elderflower liqueur? Try a splash of simple syrup and a dash of lemon juice instead. This mimics the floral sweetness.

With these swaps, you can still enjoy a tasty spritz cocktail even if you’re missing some ingredients.
