COCKTAIL HISTORY
The Nemiroff De Luxe Spritzer is a modern cocktail built around the philosophy of effortless elegance. Its roots lie in the long tradition of wine-based spritz drinks that became popular across European café culture, where light, bubbly cocktails were enjoyed as a refreshing alternative to heavier spirits. This De Luxe Spritzer vodka cocktail reimagines that tradition by introducing Nemiroff De Luxe as its foundation, adding depth and character to the familiar spritz format.
What makes it stand out is its simplicity. Fresh citrus, crushed mint, sparkling wine and soda come together in a glass without complex technique, making it one of those rare recipes you can master without a shaker. A drink born for warm evenings, open terraces and good company.
BEST PAIRINGS FOR THIS COCKTAIL
The clear and sweet profile of the De Luxe Spritzer pairs beautifully with light, fresh flavours that echo its citrus and mint character. Seafood appetisers, bruschetta with soft cheese, and fresh vegetable platters are natural companions that let the drink shine without competition.
For those with a sweeter palate, fruit tarts, lemon sorbet or light sponge cakes complement the effervescent brightness of this vodka cocktail particularly well. Its low ABV of 15% also makes it a versatile choice throughout a meal, from aperitif to dessert, without overwhelming the palate.

FAQ
Unlike a traditional spritz built purely on wine and soda, this vodka cocktail introduces Nemiroff De Luxe as its base, adding a clean and structured depth that elevates the drink beyond its origins. The addition of fresh mint and citrus gives it a distinctive aromatic freshness that sets it apart from more conventional fizzy cocktails.
Absolutely. The recipe scales effortlessly for larger servings. Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of portions and build the drink directly in a large pitcher or jug, following the same preparation steps. Add the mint and citrus last to keep them fresh, and pour over ice just before serving to preserve the effervescence of the sparkling wine.
Yes, the order makes a practical difference. Mint and citrus slices go in first so they infuse into the ice as the liquids are added. Vodka comes before the sparkling wine to allow a gentle initial mix, and the soda water is added last. A careful stir with a bar spoon preserves the bubbles while ensuring everything is evenly combined.
The recipe specifically calls for semi-dry sparkling wine, which strikes the right balance between the sweetness of the citrus and the clean character of the vodka. A fully dry variety can make the drink taste sharper than intended, while a sweet sparkling wine may overpower the delicate mint and lemon notes. Semi-dry is the sweet spot for achieving the intended profile.
It is one of the most naturally suited drinks for warm weather. With an ABV of just 15%, fresh citrus, mint garnish and a generous pour of sparkling wine and soda, the De Luxe Spritzer on vodka is light, effervescent and genuinely thirst-quenching. It works equally well as a garden aperitif, a brunch cocktail, or a relaxed afternoon drink without feeling heavy or overpowering.
