Frequently Asked Questions About Blackcurrant spritzer
How do you make a blackcurrant spritzer?
Mix blackcurrant juice or cordial with sparkling water to make a blackcurrant spritzer. Add ice first, pour in the fruit base, then top it with sparkling water just before serving so the drink stays fizzy.
What is in a blackcurrant spritzer?
A blackcurrant spritzer is usually made with blackcurrant juice and sparkling water. Lemon juice, fresh berries, or a sweetener may be added, while bottled versions can include additional ingredients, so their recipes vary by brand.
Is a blackcurrant spritzer alcoholic?
No, a blackcurrant spritzer is usually non-alcoholic: it combines blackcurrant juice with sparkling water. Some bars may add spirits to their own version, so ask for a non-alcoholic blackcurrant spritzer when ordering if you want to avoid alcohol.
Can you make a blackcurrant spritzer with cordial?
Yes, blackcurrant cordial works well in a blackcurrant spritzer. Start with a small pour because cordial is concentrated and often sweet, then add sparkling water and adjust the amount to suit your taste.
Should you use sparkling water or tonic in a blackcurrant spritzer?
Sparkling water is the usual choice for a blackcurrant spritzer because it adds bubbles without changing the fruit flavor much. Tonic water makes the drink more bitter and may add sweetness, so use it only if you prefer that taste.
Does a blackcurrant spritzer need added sugar?
No, a blackcurrant spritzer does not need added sugar. Taste the juice-and-sparkling-water mixture first; blackcurrant juice or cordial may already be sweet, while lemon juice can make the drink taste sharper.
How do you keep a blackcurrant spritzer fizzy?
To keep a blackcurrant spritzer fizzy, chill the ingredients and combine them just before drinking. Store the juice mixture separately from the sparkling water, and avoid stirring vigorously after adding the bubbles.
Can you use frozen blackcurrants in a blackcurrant spritzer?
Yes, frozen blackcurrants can be added to a blackcurrant spritzer as they thaw in the glass. They add fruit flavor and can chill the drink; for a stronger taste, lightly crush a few berries before topping with sparkling water.
What food goes well with a blackcurrant spritzer?
A blackcurrant spritzer pairs well with grilled food, savory snacks, and light meals such as sandwiches. Its tart berry flavor can refresh the palate between bites, while a less-sweet version is a better match for desserts.
Does a blackcurrant spritzer contain caffeine?
No, a blackcurrant spritzer made with blackcurrant juice and sparkling water is caffeine-free. It contains caffeine only if you add a caffeinated ingredient, such as tea or an energy drink; those are not part of the usual recipe.

What is Blackcurrant spritzer?
Blackcurrant spritzer combines blackcurrant juice or cordial with sparkling water for a tart-sweet, fizzy drink. The balance depends on how concentrated the fruit portion is; serving it well chilled brings out its refreshing character.
In places where blackcurrant cordial is popular, it is an easy non-alcoholic option for warm-weather meals, picnics or an everyday drink. A little lemon or a few ice cubes pair well with its deep fruit flavour. It is low in calories, with most of its energy coming from carbohydrates and very little protein or fat. For a lighter, less sweet glass, use less cordial and top it up with more sparkling water.
