Create a Spritzer bar for your next party

If you have fruit juice and a carbonated beverage, you can make yourself a Spritzer!  What a festive and healthy beverage to serve to guests as well.  For a party, simply buy an assortment of fruit juices and nectars, and something like 7up, Sprite, or Sierra Mist for carbonation, and set up a beverage bar so each guest can mix up their own.  Provide tequila, rum, vodka, brandy, and Champagne and you've pretty much got the adult beverages covered!



Clear fruit juices look the prettiest.  Garnish with cranberries, grapes, or pomegranate seeds.  If you're having a Christmas Party, don't forget the Eggnog and rum.  Provide Coke to go with the rum and you've got even more party guests covered.


Fruit Juices:  Grape, Apple, Cranberry, Pomegranate, Orange, Grapefruit, and Pineapple
Nectars: Apricot, Peach, Mango, and Pear
Ades: Lemonade and Limeade
Here are some tasty combinations:

• Mango nectar + Champagne or sparkling wine
• Pineapple juice + coconut milk + Malibu rum
• Limeade + tequila
• Grenadine + 7up = kiddy cocktail
• Lemonade + vodka
• Peach nectar + brandy

The combinations are nearly endless.  You could also use sparkling water or club soda for the fizz factor if you're watching calories, or to keep the kids from sugar buzzing.
Fruit Juice Spritzers are festive, fun, and healthy, and the kids love them.  Make some and see!
