Summer Wine Spritzer

I have never been a huge fan of white wine, but in the summer heat it is nice to have a cold drink.  So I bought a bottle of Pinot Grigio and decided to try to make a spritzer.  I did a very simple one and it turned out that I loved it!  It is very easy to make - put ice in a glass, fill it 1:1 wine to sparkling water.  Cut a few slices of lemon and squeeze them into the glass.  Stir and enjoy!  It is so tasty and refreshing!  And now I am a fan of white wine!

































As a note, any sparkling water is good for this beverage.  But I think I prefer the flavored but not sweetened sparkling waters - grapefruit, lemon or lime have been my favs - because they add another hint of citrus to the spritzer.
