Creating a Spritzer Bar for a Brunch

A spritzer bar is a fun entertaining idea that’s perfect for brunch and any special occasion like an afternoon bridal shower, birthday, baby shower or even as a signature wedding co*cktail!

To set up a spritzer bar, we recommend using a bar cart, which is really the best station for a spritzer bar.

You can move it to the desired location, even outside and then just place all of the ingredients on it. It also looks elegant and classic.

How to make a Spritzer

The best part about making your own spritzer is that you can experiment with different flavor variations! Try 3 ounces Lillet Rosé with 3 ounces sparkling lemonade!

Or 3 ounces Lillet Blanc with 3 ounces sparkling elderflower soda and a splash of tonic water. If it’s not strong enough, add more Lillet! Add in fruit and flowers for a stunningly colorful co*cktail.

Making a spritzer is all about finding the right balance for you, which is why it’s such a great entertaining idea and activity for guests!

How to Enjoy Lillet

Besides using Lillet to make the most refreshing spritzer, you can also enjoy it alone over ice! If you want to add a dash of tonic water or club soda it makes a wonderful, light co*cktail that’s truly fantastic!

Lillet has some wonderful recipes on their site that are absolutely delicious too.

Spritzer for Every Season

To make a spritzer seasonal, use seasonal fruit and seasonal flavors. For example, winter could be Lillet Rouge with sparkling cranberry juice, cinnamon, thyme and tonic water.

Decorate the bar according to the season with fresh flowers and seasonal colors!
