This Blueberry Lemon White Wine Spritzer is light and refreshing! A white wine simple syrup is stirred into a blueberry lemon mixture, poured over ice and topped off with sparkling water. This recipe will yield 7 servings depending on the glasses used.
Your next celebration needs these non-alcoholic Blueberry Lemonade Spritzers! Fresh blueberries, lemonade and some fizz for a refreshing beverage!
Now every wedding shower, virtual or not, calls a refreshing bevy. Agree? So I wanted to share with you all my newest favorite drink. It calls for fresh blueberries, fresh lemons and tastes just as it should with a little fizzy action that’ll tickle your nose.
I also had a batch of that wine simple syrup left over from this recipe so I’d serve it off to the side for those of who wanted a little oomph to their spritzer. A couple tablespoons of that and it adds a little sweetness, a little wine-ness and a whole lotta warm-cheeky-ness. It’s lovely… but totally optional. You could always swizzle in a little sugar and stir to dissolve if you want it sweeter just minus the wine.
Cheers & best of luck to Megan and Ben! I hope your wedding day is filled with sunshine, laughter and love! Much love to you both!
To Make This Blueberry Lemon Wine Spritzer You Will Need:
- white wine simple syrup
- blueberries
- lemon peel
- lemon juice
- sparkling water
Make The White Wine Simple Syrup:
In a saucepan, measure and add 1 cup white wine (I use sauvignon blanc) and 1/4 cup sugar. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove and let cool before pouring into a jar or container with a tight fitting lid. Refrigerate until ready to use. Clearly, this isn’t an overly sweet (or boozy) drink.
Make The Blueberry Lemon Mixture:
In a sauce pan, measure and add 2 cups fresh blueberries and the zest from a large lemon.
Pour in 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Bring to a low boil over medium to medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 8 minutes.
Remove and let cool. I like to speed this process up by adding ice and cold water to a large bowl (about 1/3 to 1/2 way depending) and setting the pan inside.
Once cooled, remove all of the lemon rinds and discard.
Transfer the cooled lemon blueberry mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Never puree hot liquids!
Place a mesh strainer on top of a large liquid measuring cup and strain the blueberry lemon mixture.
Once strained, pour it into a pitcher.
Pour in all of the white wine syrup.
Stir to combine.
Fill cups the top with ice.
Fill the glass halfway with the blueberry wine mixture.
Top off with sparkling water.
Garnish with sprigs of fresh mint and lemon wheels.
So good and light and refreshing! Summer in a glass!
Sip, enjoy…
And repeat.

WOW! I’m new here, so I don’t know Megan and Ben…yet!…but how nice to get invited to a bridal shower the day after me and my hubby celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary! 🙂 Megan and Ben, may you have as many happy moments, with moments turning into days, and days turning into years, as me and my ‘Boo’ have had! 🙂
