Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter spritzer, consider adding a splash of simple syrup or using flavored sparkling water. If fresh strawberries are available, they can be pureed instead of frozen ones for a fresher taste. You can also substitute the white grape juice with apple or cranberry juice for a different flavor profile. Chill all ingredients well before serving for the best experience.
