Frequently Asked Questions

Do Spritzers Have Alcohol?

Spritzers can have alcohol in them. The traditional wine spritzer does have a bit of wine in it. However, having alcohol in a spritzer is completely up to the recipe and individual.

If you are following a recipe, sometimes the recipe would ask for some alcohol like wine or gin. However, at other times recipes for spritzers just add soda or sparkling water instead. So it is always best to check the recipe to see if it has alcohol in it

If you are ordering a spritzer at a bar then they might assume you want alcohol in it. However, if you don’t you should make the person serving you aware of that.

If you want to check whether the spritzer you are ordering has alcohol in it, look at the ingredients on the menu. If this doesn’t clear up whether or not your spritzer has alcohol in it then always ask a member of staff to make sure.

If you are buying spritzers in a can, then it would usually be displayed on the can if the spritzer has alcohol in it. Check the ingredients to see if it is stated on the ingredients list.

If you can’t see it there, check the can for an alcohol percentage. This tells you how much alcohol is in that can.

How Much Alcohol Is In A Spritzer

The amount of alcohol in a spritzer doesn’t have a set quantity. This is because it largely reflects on the individual making the spritzer.

If you are ordering a white wine spritzer then usually the spritzer will have less than one large glass of wine in it as the drink is mixed with other ingredients like soda.

Although to find out exactly how much alcohol there is in your spritzers when at a bar, you should ask the bartender.

If you are buying a can of spritzer then they are usually relatively low in terms of the percentage of alcohol in them. To check, read the can and you should find the alcohol percentage which is usually on the front of the can.

If you are making an alcoholic spritzer, it completely depends on what the recipe asks for and your own preference. When making spritzers yourself, you can always adjust the amount of alcohol in them. Just remember to drink responsibly!

What Is The Difference Between A Seltzer And Spritzer?

Seltzer is just sparkling or carbonated water. When we talk about hard seltzer they usually have some alcohol with the sparkling or carbonated water.

A spritzer is usually a tall drink that is made with wine and carbonated water.

Seltzers and spritzers are quite similar. Oftentimes the two are used interchangeably. When looking at hard seltzers they are usually made with a spirit. However, some spritzers also contain spirits.

The best way to check what you are ordering is to see whether or not it has anything before the words spritzer or seltzer.

Usually, you’ll see a white wine spritzer on the menu so you know that it will be a mix of white wine and some sort of sparkling drink like water or soda. If the menu says hard seltzer it is usually carbonated water and a spirit.

If you are ever in doubt about what you are ordering, then the best advice we can provide you with is to ask your waiter or the bartender. This will help you avoid any confusion with what you are drinking. Then you can enjoy your drink in peace, without worrying! There is nothing quite as bad as accidentally ordering the wrong drink and having to drink it.
