Peachy Pink Gin Spritz with Raspberries

This peachy pink gin spritz tastes like summertime in a glass. It has elderflower rose gin, raspberry liqueur, peach nectar, lemon, and Prosecco for a ridiculously refreshing and bubbly drink. Mix this 5-minute cocktail up in a pitcher (or a wine glass) to share with friends at BBQs, dinner parties, aperitivo, and everything in-between!

I am in full summer celebration mode for a myriad of reasons. 1. I get to lounge by the lake and paddle board every single weekend. 2. It’s a good excuse to BBQ constantly. And 3. It’s finally spritz season!

As someone who’s always planning my next get-together, spritzes have been my go-to party cocktail for years now. I mean, who doesn’t love sitting in the sun with friends and drinking something bubbly?

Of course, there are a ton of other reasons you should definitely make a pitcher of spritzes for your next get together!

• This cocktail is super easy and takes 5-minutes to make.
• Just mix this drink up in a pitcher and you have a cocktail for a crowd.
• With floral gin, peaches, and raspberries, it’s full of summer flavors.
• This drink is fruity, fizzy, and beyond refreshing.

Once you’ve made this drink, make sure to try this blueberry lemon vodka spritz, berry lemon rosé sangria, and spiked strawberry lemonade! All of these cocktails are made in a pitcher for easy serving and sipping.

Star ingredient – Empress 1908 Gin!

The key to that gorgeous deep pink color in this gin spritzer is Empress 1908 Elderflower Rose Gin! I’ve been a fan of Empress for years now, but this new floral flavor might just be my favorite. It’s infused with red rose petals, elderflower, and lavender which I’m obsessed with, because I always love a floral-forward gin. And of course, it also has juniper for that classic “gin” flavor.

Depending on where you live, you can find this elderflower rose gin at most liquor stores or even some grocery stores! Here’s a handy little guide to find it near you.

Other ingredients

In addition to the gin, you will also need these ingredients!

• Raspberry liqueur – I like black raspberry liqueur but any of your favorites will work.
• Peach nectar – the peach nectar is key for that refreshing peach flavor. If you can’t find nectar, peach juice is a great alternative.
• Lemon juice – make sure to use freshly-squeezed lemon juice. It will offset the sweetness in this cocktail.
• Prosecco – a classic ingredient in spritzes. I usually go with a dry (brut) Prosecco so the cocktail isn’t too sweet.
• Sparkling water – for extra fizziness, we’ll add a splash of sparkling water or club soda.
• Peaches and raspberries – fresh peaches and raspberries are a pretty (but optional) garnish! I used yellow peaches but you can make a white peach spritz too.

Look for peach nectar in the juice aisle of the grocery store. If you can’t find nectar, you can also use peach juice from the refrigerated juice aisle instead.

Pitcher cocktail

Whenever I make this raspberry peach spritz for a party, I like to mix it up in a big pitcher. Here’s how to make this batch cocktail.

1. Start by adding the peach nectar and lemon juice to a pitcher.
2. Then, add the raspberry liqueur.
3. Pour the Empress Elderflower Rose Gin into the pitcher.

4. Next, add the Prosecco and sparkling water.
5. Using a cocktail spoon, gently stir the drink together.
6. Lastly, garnish the cocktail with fresh peaches and raspberries. Enjoy!

Feel free to adjust the ingredients to your tastes! If you like a sweeter cocktail, use 2 1/2-3 ounces of peach nectar. For a tarter pink gin cocktail, add a 1/2 ounce of lemon juice.

Single cocktail

If you don’t need so many drinks, feel free to make a single pink gin fizz or two instead! All you need is wine glasses, a jigger, and a spoon for stirring.

1. Start by filling a glass all the way to the top with ice.
2. Then, add the peach nectar, lemon juice, raspberry liqueur, gin, Prosecco, and sparkling water.
3. Stir the cocktail well and garnish it with peaches and raspberries. Enjoy!

Make-ahead

Spritzes are usually best right away because the drink will lose fizziness the longer it sits. But, you can definitely make the base ahead of time!

Just mix up the peach nectar, lemon juice, raspberry liqueur, and gin in a pitcher. Cover it and refrigerate the drink for up to 2 days. Right before serving, add the Prosecco, sparkling water, sliced peaches, and raspberries.

Slice the peaches right before serving this drink. Otherwise, they’ll get a little soggy and turn brown.

Lower ABV drink

Spritzes are meant to be lower ABV cocktails, but they’re usually made with bitter liqueurs (like Aperol) which have lower alcohol content. Just as a note, Aperol has an ABV of 11% and this gin has an ABV of 42.5%.

If you want a lower ABV drink, feel free to use all sparkling water instead of Prosecco. You can also replace the raspberry liqueur with plain simple syrup, peach simple syrup, or raspberry simple syrup.

Like a stronger gin flavor? Just replace the raspberry liqueur with more gin!

Yield & serving ideas

If you make this gin Prosecco cocktail in a pitcher, you will get 8 servings which is amazing for a party! Feel free to halve or even double this recipe if you have a bigger group.

Since spritzes are usually served as pre-dinner drinks, this is also one of my favorite cocktails to serve with appetizers! Some of my favorites are potato chips, Marcona almonds, Italian olives, marinated mozzarella balls, or spicy ranch snack mix.

If you make this recipe, I would love it if you left a star rating and review! I read every single comment and love hearing what you think about my recipes. Thank you for supporting Sunday Table!
