Frequently Asked Questions About Redcurrant Spritzer
What is a redcurrant spritzer?
A redcurrant spritzer is a drink made by mixing redcurrant juice with sparkling water. It is a fruitier, lighter alternative to drinking the juice on its own, and is usually served chilled.
How do you make a redcurrant spritzer?
Mix redcurrant juice with chilled sparkling water, then serve over ice. Add the sparkling water just before serving to keep the drink fizzy; fresh redcurrants or a slice of citrus make simple garnishes.
Is a redcurrant spritzer alcoholic?
No, a redcurrant spritzer is normally non-alcoholic: it is juice mixed with sparkling water. A bar or bottled version could have additional ingredients, so check how that particular drink is made if avoiding alcohol.
What does a redcurrant spritzer taste like?
A redcurrant spritzer tastes tart, fruity, and sparkling, with a sharper berry flavor than many juice-and-soda mixes. The balance changes with the juice: more sparkling water softens the fruitiness, while more juice makes the redcurrant taste stronger.
Can you make a redcurrant spritzer with cordial instead of juice?
Yes, you can make a redcurrant spritzer with redcurrant cordial diluted according to its directions, then topped with sparkling water. Cordial is usually sweeter and more concentrated than juice, so taste the mixture before adding any extra sweetener.
Can you use still water in a redcurrant spritzer?
Yes, still water works in a redcurrant spritzer, but the result will not be fizzy. Use sparkling mineral water or plain sparkling water when you want the characteristic bubbles; mineral water may also add a subtle mineral taste.
How can you make a redcurrant spritzer less sweet?
To make a redcurrant spritzer less sweet, use unsweetened redcurrant juice and add more sparkling water. A squeeze of lemon can sharpen the flavor without adding sugar, while sweetened juice or cordial will make the drink sweeter.
Can frozen redcurrants be used in a redcurrant spritzer?
Yes, frozen redcurrants work in a redcurrant spritzer. Thaw and crush them to release their juice, then strain out the seeds and skins if you want a smooth drink; a few frozen berries can also chill the glass.
How long does a redcurrant spritzer keep after mixing?
A redcurrant spritzer is best drunk soon after mixing because its bubbles fade over time. If you need to prepare it ahead, chill the juice separately and add sparkling water only when you are ready to serve.
What can you serve with a redcurrant spritzer?
A redcurrant spritzer pairs well with light meals, salads, and savory snacks. Its bright, tart berry flavor can refresh the palate alongside richer or salty foods; serve it cold so the carbonation stays lively.

Redcurrant Spritzer, known in Germany as Johannisbeer-Schorle, combines redcurrant juice with sparkling water or mineral water. The juice gives it a bright, tart-sweet fruit flavour, while the bubbles keep the drink light and refreshing. The balance of juice and water can be adjusted to taste.
