Best Earl Grey Ginger Spritzer Recipes

EARL GREY SPRITZER

Steps:

• Dissolve the sugar in 1 cup water and bring to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the mixture turns syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Place the tea bags in the saucepan and let the mixture come to room temperature. Refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours. (Syrup will keep up to one month stored in the refrigerator in a container with a tight fitting lid.)
• Spoon 3 tablespoons of the cold Earl Grey simple syrup into each Champagne flute. Garnish with a thin slice of lemon.

POMEGRANATE-GINGER SPRITZER

Steps:

• For the grenadine syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the pomegranate juice and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let cool. (Makes about 3/4 cup; extra syrup can be stored in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.)
• For the spritzer: Add the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice and 2 tablespoons grenadine syrup in a rocks glass and mix until combined. Fill with crushed ice. Add the ginger ale, drop in a lime slice and serve.

EARL GREY GINGER SPRITZER RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Steps:

• To a heat proof bowl or pitcher, add the water and tea bags. Steep for 5 minutes. Refrigerate the tea until chilled for 2 hours. Fill a glass half full with ginger beer. Tilt the glass and slowly pour the tea down the inside until full. Garnish with mint leaves.

EARL GREY TEA AND BLUEBERRY SPRITZER

Steps:

• Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Turn off the heat, add the tea bags and let steep 5 minutes. Discard the tea bags. Stir in 1 cup ice cubes until completely melted. Pour the tea into a liquid measuring cup, and let it chill completely in the refrigerator, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely melted, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the mint and stir until it has completely wilted. Let cool completely at room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
• Strain the cooled mint syrup into a large liquid measuring cup or a pitcher, then press the leaves with a wooden spoon or spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the mint. Add the blueberries, and use a wooden spoon or a potato masher to lightly crush most of them (a few whole blueberries is fine). Add the chilled tea, and stir to combine.
• To serve, fill 4 tall glasses with ice. Divide the blueberry mixture among them. Add enough sparkling wine to fill each glass. Garnish with a mint sprig, and serve immediately.

GINGER-ORANGE SPRITZER

Steps:

• Combine the ginger with the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool, then strain, reserving the sliced ginger.
• Put 2 tablespoons each of the ginger syrup in 4 tall glasses, add a mint sprig to each and a couple slices of ginger; slightly muddle or crush. Fill the glasses 3/4 of the way with ice cubes. Add 1/2 cup of orange juice and 1 tablespoon of lime juice to each glass and stir. Top off each glass with 1/2 cup seltzer and stir well. Serve.
