Fresh blueberry puree that’s infused with lemon and combined with a wine simple syrup is poured over ice and topped with sparkling water for a refreshing summer beverage! If you haven’t made wine simple syrup for spritzers before, this is your sign to do so. It adds a little sweetness and a subtle wine flavor – which is perfect for those who like just a little wine but don’t want the hangover the next day.
