This refreshing white wine cocktail is easy on your waistline and wallet!
Sometimes you want a cool, refreshing cocktail but don’t want a lot of alcohol or calories. Enter this Strawberry White Wine Spritzer. With only a splash of wine and plenty of berries and bubbles, you can sip these all afternoon without them going to your head or waistline! Â If you want even less wine, like none, try using lemonade instead. That’s how I made this special drink for my boys, and they loved it. I probably used 50/50 lemonade and seltzer in theirs, and they used a spoon to eat the berries at the end. 
Not only is this cocktail good for a diet, it’s also good for your wallet if you need to entertain a crowd and stretch your wine. It’s easy on the eyes too! I hope you enjoy this wine cocktail as much as we did!

- Fill a tall glass halfway with ice.
- Add wine and strawberries, and fill glass nearly full with seltzer. Squeeze in lime juice, and gently stir with a long spoon.
- Serve with a skewer for eating the berries if desired.
If you are looking for more sweetness but still want to keep calories down, try using diet lemon-lime soda instead of the seltzer.

super funny p.s. Without any prompting, my husband grabbed a spoon to dig the strawberries from the bottom of the glass. Just like your boys :-)

been there, done that :-) (as in just now after reading your post). Watch the facebook! It’s tasty, but I like bigger on the alcohol and also more sweet. But my husband was walking in as I snapped my last shot, so I handed it over like I had made him a cocktail to celebrate his coming home. And he loves it as he’s all over the wine thing. So thanks for making me look like a good wife :-)

I couldn’t find anything on your FB page, but I’m looking forward to seeing your version! I can completely understand wanting more wine and more sweet. My version was very watery and light. Basically, it was wine and strawberry flavored water, which was just what I was after at the time! I’m glad your drink was a hit both with you and your husband, and cute that he got a spoon! I used the skewer, which made it like an activity as well as a beverage ;)
