What Is a Spritzer?

A spritzer is a chilled drink made with something bubbly (like seltzer or club soda) and something flavorful (like juice or puréed fruit). It’s light, fizzy, and super refreshing—perfect for warm days or when you want something fun without the alcohol.

Key Ingredients

You only need four simple ingredients to make this strawberry peach spritzer, and you probably already have most of them on hand.

Flatlay of fresh strawberries, ripe peaches, sweetener, and a can of sparkling water—ingredients for a homemade strawberry peach spritzer.

Fresh Strawberries: Juicy and bright, they add natural tartness and that signature berry flavor.
Ripe Peaches: Look for soft, fragrant peaches for the best flavor. No need to peel unless you prefer a smoother texture.
Sweetener: Optional, but great for boosting flavor if your fruit isn’t ultra-ripe. Maple syrup, agave, or sugar all work.
Seltzer or Sparkling Water: Choose your favorite flavor (lime or berry are great), or keep it classic with plain seltzer.

Flavor Swaps & Easy Variations

This strawberry peach spritzer is easy to adapt based on what you’ve got in the fridge, or your bubble preferences. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Swap your fizz: Not into seltzer? Try lemon-lime soda, kombucha, or even coconut water for a different kind of sparkle.
Try another fruit combo: Strawberries and nectarines, raspberries and mango, or blueberries and lemon all work beautifully.
Add a citrus twist: A splash of lime or lemon juice adds extra brightness and balances the sweetness.
Make it a mocktail: Serve in cocktail glasses with fresh mint, ice cubes, and a sugared rim for a party-ready nonalcoholic drink.
Skip the bubbles entirely: If fizzy isn’t your thing, blend the fruit with still water or lemonade for a juicy, no-fizz version.
Not a fan of fizz? You can swap in lemonade or even fruit-infused still water for a gentler vibe.

How to Make

This spritzer comes together in just five minutes with a blender and a handful of fresh ingredients. Here’s the easy step-by-step. For full recipe details, scroll to the end of the post!

Step 1: Wash and chop your fruit. Remove strawberry tops and pit the peaches. No need to peel unless you want a super smooth texture.
Step 2: Blend it all together. Add the fruit and sweetener to a blender and purée until completely smooth.
Step 3: Pour into glasses. Divide the fruit mixture between two glasses—about halfway full.
Step 4: Top with fizz. Add your seltzer or sparkling water right before serving for the best bubbles.
Step 5: Garnish if you’d like. Add sliced fruit, a paper straw, or a sprig of mint or edible flowers to finish it off.

How to Serve

Perfect for lounging poolside, rounding out a barbecue, or brightening a picnic spread—this spritzer plays nicely with a range of summer dishes. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Serve it over ice: A tall glass filled with crushed ice makes this extra cold and refreshing, especially on hot days.
Bring it along on your next vegan barbecue or picnic. It’s a cooling counterpoint to our seitan kebabs, vegan potato salad, corn ribs, chipotle black bean burgers, and our ladybug appetizer.
Add fresh fruit on top: A few extra strawberry slices or peach wedges turn this from “weekend drink” into “brunch centerpiece.”
Use fancy glasses: Mason jars, stemless wine glasses, or coupe glasses instantly level things up without any effort.
Serve it with brunch. Light, fruity, and fizzy—it pairs perfectly with our vegan sheet pan pancakes, vegan chicken and waffles, and our vegan frittata.
Go playful with garnishes: Try paper umbrellas, striped paper straws, or herb sprigs like mint or basil for a cocktail-style vibe.

Can I make this strawberry peach spritzer ahead of time?

You can blend the fruit and sweetener in advance, but wait to add the sparkling water until just before serving. That keeps the bubbles fresh and the drink fizzy.
