I first made this spritzer for a reel online which you can watch here. This refreshing spritzer is a simple yet elegant drink perfect for a relaxing afternoon.
Here's how to recreate it:
Ingredients
- Sticky quince syrup (about 1-2 tablespoons)
- Ginger ale (about 250 ml depending on your glass size)
- Fresh mint leaves (4-6 leaves)
- Ice cubes (optional, not shown in video but perfect for Summer)
Method
1. Fill a glass with ginger ale (about 3/4 full). You can go for a tall glass like shown in the video or more of a cocktail shape depending on your preference.
2. Pour in the sticky quince syrup
3. Watch as it naturally effervesces and creates a beautiful reaction
4. Add fresh mint leaves to the glass
5. Gently stir to combine all flavours
6. Enjoy as a refreshing afternoon spritzer!
Variations
As mentioned in the video, you can customize this drink in several ways:
- Substitute ginger ale with soda water for a less sweet version
- Add your preferred alcohol to make it into a cocktail
- Adjust the amount of quince syrup to taste
Notes
The sticky quince syrup adds both sweetness and a unique fruity flavour that pairs wonderfully with the spiciness of ginger ale. The mint provides a fresh aromatic finish that elevates this simple drink into something special.
This spritzer requires no special equipment - just a glass and something to stir with!
