Quick Grape Spritzer
- 1 bunch red seedless grapes, stemmed and washed (about 1 pound)
- 1 bunch white seedless grapes, stemmed and washed (about 1 pound)
- 1 quart chilled grape juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 16 ounces vodka
- 2 cups chilled seltzer, club soda, or naturally sparkling water
- I get wonderful local grape juices at my market at the same stand where I buy my grapes.
- I especially like white grape juice for this recipe but anything will work!
- For vodka, I love Ciroc because it matches the grape flavor profile of the drink but love the "classics" like Stoli just as much.
- Put half of the red grapes and half of the white grapes in the freezer, for garnish.
- Put the remaining grapes in a large bowl and "smash" them with a whisk (or fingers).
- Add the smashed grape to a large pitcher and pour in the grape juice and honey.
- Stir in about 16 ounces of vodka.
- Fill glasses about 1/2 full with the grape juice mixture and top with a splash of seltzer.
- Drop and few frozen grapes into each glass for a festive garnish that doubles as an ice cube!
