I first had white wine spritzers when I was 30 years old, about a month before I got pregnant with Coco, Pete and I went to LA with some friends. We visited a friends “Uncle Jack” who Pete has know for about 30 years. He lived down by the Ocean in Santa Monica and was known for his house drink- a white wine spritzer.

Ginger White Wine Spritzer

 

Well it turned out that White Wine Spritzers were riiiiiight up my alley. They are delicious and light and fizzy. Plus, because they are not too strong you don’t get into too much trouble. Well. Depending on what hour of the day you start drinking them I suppose…. Ginger White Wine Spritzer

I was thinking about that trip recently and it reminded me about the joys of these simple little drinks and so I made them last weekend. But I thought instead of adding just club soda (although that is great too!) that the addition of ginger might be nice. So I added a little candied ginger and some gingerale to the white wine and well, YES. I also like the addition of pomegranate seeds because they are just so pretty and they feel festive. Cheers!
