"This drink gives a zesty spin to a classic white wine spritzer. The pinot grigio has citrus and fruit notes that are enhanced by the Sprite and ginger beer, which gives the drink a champagnelike effervescence. Top it off with a lime garnish to really bring out the citrus tones in the cocktail.” —William Abruzzo, bartender at Fire & Oak, Montvale
