Don't panic, it's definitely not like drinking sea water but there is a subtle saltiness (which is kinda nice, actually). But take note: Club soda has a lot more sodium per serving that these sparkling mineral waters (there's about 80 milligrams of sodium in club soda versus 10 milligrams in mineral water). Club soda is a popular choice for spritzers because it is very neutral in flavor, unlike fancier sparkling mineral water (like San Pellegrino, Perrier, or Topo Chico that's used in Ree Drummond's Ranch Water drink), which have subtle flavor differences based on the springs from which they're bottled. What sparkling water is best for white wine spritzers?Īny plain (unflavored) carbonated water will make a perfectly lovely spritzer, but there are slight differences. Since the wine will be diluted by the sparkling water and not masked with a flavorful mixer, start with your preferred wine then accent it with fresh fruit to match the wine's fruity notes (often mentioned on the back label). Love rounder, softer whites? Try an unoaked Chardonnay, or even a semi-dry riesling. Into dry, crisp whites? Go with a Pinot Grigio or a Vhino Verde, a Portuguese wine that already has a hint of effervescence to it. The secret to making the best white wine spritzer is to use a white wine that you already love.
