Spritzer Spritzer A spritzer is a tall, chilled drink, usually made with white wine and carbonated water or sparkling mineral water. "Spritzer" is derived from the variant of the German language spoken in Austria, where the drink is very popular. It is used alongside the equally common form "Gespritzter" (mostly pronounced "G'spritzter", a noun derived from the past participle of "spritzen", i.e. squirt), a term also found in some German regions, such as Hessen (e.g. "Süssgespritzter", i.e. a "sweet spritzer" using fizzy lemonade instead of soda water ("Sauergespritzter")). In most of Germany, the word "Schorle" is used to denote a Spritzer.
