Ingredients
1 orange, zested and sliced
8 sprigs fresh mint
1 lime, zested and sliced
1-inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced
1 cup frozen raspberries
3 cups sugar
3 cups water
4 bottles sparkling water
1 bottle vodka, optional
2 bottles Prosecco, optional
Directions
- In a small bowl add orange zest and 4 sprigs of mint. In a second bowl add the lime zest and ginger. To a third bowl add 3/4 cup of the raspberries.
- In a pot mix the sugar and 3 cups water. Put over medium heat and bring it to a boil, then evenly divide the sugar syrup among the 3 bowls. Stir each to mix and let cool to room temperature. Pour each mixture into jars or syrup containers and refrigerate until ready to use or up to 2 weeks.
- Set up the Spritzer Bar:
- Set out chilled bottles of sparkling water. Put out plenty champagne flutes or wine glasses. Let people create their own Sparkling Spritzer by mixing about 3 tablespoons of a flavored syrup with some seltzer water and a shot of vodka or Prosecco, if desired. Garnish the drinks with mint sprigs, orange slices or lime slices.
