Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (one 12-ounce can) seltzer water or sparkling mineral water
  • 1 tablespoon good-quality vinegar (champagne, Banyuls, white balsamic, or fruit vinegars are especially good), more to taste
  • Honey or simple syrup (optional; see Tip)
  • Lime, lemon, or orange twist, for garnish

Method

  • Combine the seltzer and vinegar in a large glass and stir to combine.
  • If you like, add sweetener to taste.
  • Add ice and top with the citrus twist.
  • Simple syrup is easy to make and is great to have on hand for sweetening cocktails, iced coffee or tea, or this simple spritzer.
  • Combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan (2 cups is a good amount), bring to a boil, and cook until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Cool and refrigerate for indefinite shelf life.
