Easy Vodka Spritzers (3 Flavors!)
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Safeway. All opinions are 100% mine.
Shake your cocktail routine up with these crisp, refreshing Vodka Spritzers! Recipe includes 3 flavor variations with real fruit juice, no added sugar and they’re beyond easy to make!
The holidays may not look the same for most of us this year, but we can certainly do our best to make them as normal as possible by holding onto special holiday traditions.
For me, that includes plenty of festive decorations, baking plenty of pumpkin pie and gingerbread cookies, and making favorites like my spatchcock turkey and slow cooker ham.
It’s fun to deviate from tradition a little bit every year, and this year I intend to do that by shaking up my cocktail routine with these festive Vodka Spritzers!
These cocktails would liven up any gathering.
I picked up everything I needed for this spritzer recipe at my local Safeway store. The cocktails include Signature SELECT award-winning Soleil Water Sparkling W/Caffeine in grapefruit, lime and blood orange flavors, as well as Round Rock Vodka, fresh fruit juice and herbs.
Safeway’s exclusive brands offer high-quality products at a value, and is a one stop shop for your holiday baking, cocktail creations or simply pairing wine with dinner.

FAQs
A spritzer is a chilled drink, which combines alcohol such as wine or vodka, and sparkling water or seltzer.
A spritzer typically includes sparkling water, which is naturally carbonated from bubbles that occur naturally in a spring or well. Seltzer is artificially carbonated.
Make this spritzer non alcoholic by omitting the vodka.
Add the ingredients into a mason jar, add ice, secure the lid and shake!
