FRESH FRUIT SPRITZERS
Steps:
- In a large pitcher combine all of the ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon. Fill tall glasses with ice and fill with Spritzers.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe fruit: The fresher the fruit, the better your spritzer will taste. When selecting fruit, look for pieces that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
- Choose a sparkling water or club soda that you enjoy: The carbonation in the sparkling water or club soda will help to balance out the sweetness of the fruit and create a refreshing drink.
- Add a squeeze of citrus: A squeeze of lemon or lime juice can help to brighten up the flavor of your spritzer and add a touch of tartness.
- Sweeten to taste: If you find that your spritzer is too tart, you can add a little bit of sugar or honey to taste.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or fruit: A sprig of mint or a slice of orange can add a festive touch to your spritzer and make it even more refreshing.

Fruit spritzers are a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy your favorite fruits. They're also a healthy alternative to sugary sodas and juices.
