This pretty, festive, and fun sparkling Earl Grey Spritzer is the perfect drink for a party or bridal shower, or even a delightful just-because pick-me-up.

Earl Grey Spritzer

Earl Grey Spritzers are elegant, beautiful, and easy to make. It's like taking your iced tea to a whole new level of fun and delicious. They're made with an Earl Grey tea-infused simple syrup and sparkling wine, served in a pretty glass (like a Champagne flute) with a lemon slice.

Earl Grey Spritzers are great to serve at bridal showers and events because they're so dainty and pretty, but they're also simple enough to make at home.

What Kind of Wine to Use

The syrup used to flavor the drink is very sweet. It's a simple syrup, meaning it's concentrated sugar water. So we really don't want too much sweetness in the wine or it will be too much.

Choose a dry white sparkling wine or Champagne.

How to Make an Earl Grey Spritzer Mocktail

Making a non-alcoholic, or virgin, mocktail version of this drink is so simple. Simply use plain club soda or lemon flavored club soda instead of the sparkling wine.

Can I Use Other Kinds of Tea?

Yes! I made this same exact recipe (the mocktail version, as it was a church event) for my sister's bridal shower, except I used lavender tea. It was beautiful, and I got SO MANY compliments on how delicious it was!

Can I Make Earl Grey Spritzer Ahead of Time?

The syrup can be made ahead and kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days before the event. Assemble drinks just before serving.
