What Is The Main Idea Of Assembling Cocktails?

The concept of making cocktails (or alcoholic mixed drinks) are pretty simple, but the authentic appeal lies in the way to match the ingredients together. The spirits or alcoholic drinks in a cocktail portion are the most crucial part.

The first variant of cocktails (of which origin is pretty unclear) consists of spirits, sugar, and bitters (a spirit with a bittersweet flavor). These components now are the must-have for a standard Old-Fashioned cocktail recipe.

Nowadays, cocktails might include many things; fruit juice, soda, honey, or cream can all go beside the central part of alcohol. Don’t confuse them with mocktails (or virgin cocktails). They might look similar, but the mocktails have no alcoholic ingredients.

Sprite And Cocktails? What Can You Expect?

First known as Fanta Klare Zitrone or “clear lemon fanta” in Western Germany in 1959, Sprite came to America in 1961. This favorable, colorless soft drink with a signature lime/lemon flavor is now distributed on the market by the Coca-Cola company.

A fact about this soft drink is that Sprite has always been a common cocktail base besides Root Beers, Ginger Ale, or the famous Coca-Cola. The crisp, refreshing lime/lemon tastes are the main reason why people love utilizing it to assemble cocktails.

Yet, Sprite consists of various kinds of flavors these days. You might find it going with grape, orange, ginger, or vanilla scents, so you should opt for the right one to make your cocktails correctly. Are you ready to learn more about them now?

19 Top-Tier Sprite Cocktails To Diversify Your Next Party’s Menu

Without further ado, exploring or knowing more about any gastronomy or recipes using your own taste buds is advisable. As a result, look at my proposals and try your favorites!

1. Skinny Sangria

Total time: About 10 minutes (excluding 4 to 6 hours or more to chill).

How about starting this humble cocktail list with this lovely reddish Skinny Sangria? It’s “skinny” because this Sangria calls for Sprite Zero so that you can still enjoy your favorite cocktail without feeling guilty for consuming too much sugar from the soft drink.

The other ingredients are Pomegranate Vodka, wine (or canned wine), and some fresh fruits for additional flavors or decorative toppings. I usually go for sliced berries (like strawberries or blueberries) or orange slices.

In case you want to make this cocktail with a low amount of calories a night before, just mix every ingredient except for Sprite or ice and leave a whole batch inside the fridge until use. Only put on the fruity toppings and the soda whenever you want to have the drink.

If you want to have a more detailed guide to make Skinny Sangria, here you go!

2. Strawberry Sangria

Total time: About 20 minutes (excluding chilling time in the fridge and the time to make syrup).

This Strawberry Sangria is also a summer cocktail recipe with some similar ingredients required compared to the previous Skinny Sangria, but the way to form it is different. In this recipe, you’ll need Sprite or other lemon-lime soda you have with some good white wine.

DIY strawberry syrup is the star of this recipe since it offers gorgeous color and a tempting fruity taste to the whole cocktail. After making this part, remember to let it cool before moving to the next step of assembling cocktails.

In case you love the bubbling effect from the Sprite or Ginger Ale, it will be better to put them in the last step (especially after the storing period of your drink inside the fridge).

3. White Strawberry-Lemon Sangria

Total time: About 10 minutes (excluding the chilling time).

Your next choice for Sangria is this superb Rum-using cocktail or light Rum. The light Rum generally has more alcohol per volume than the darker ones, while its tastes are pretty subtle and sweet.

You will still need to use white wine, strawberries (fresh, not syrup), and apples to ensure a balanced, tropical-style flavor. Never neglect ice and the chilling period for this recipe because it’s much more exquisite when it’s cool.

This white Strawberry-Lemon Sangria is the best cocktail idea for summertime or whenever the weather is warmer. So, don’t miss your chance to try this drink during those times.

4. Rosé All Day Sangria

Total time: About 10 minutes (excluding the chilling time).

Make your favorite Sangria with additional herby notes like this recipe suggests as soon as possible. The lemon-flavored soda can never go wrong in this recipe, as its sweet yet sour flavors can easily balance the drink’s overall herby tones (from basil, mint, or tarragon).

Even though the name of this cocktail reminds you of the Rosé wine with a light pink hue and its crispness or freshness, it is actually also considered a vermouth-based cocktail.

It doesn’t offer the prominent bitterness like the regular Vermouth; Bianco Vermouth lends light notes of fruits and flowers with a subtle vanilla scent. Next, a small tip to receive the best Rosé All Day Sangria is to let it chill overnight or for at least 3 hours.

5. Beauty And The Beast Gaston Cocktail

Total time: In only about 6 minutes or less.

Since it sounds like a recipe coming out of a fairy tale, it makes me curious about the attractively red cocktail recipe. In case you might question, Grenadine, the famous nonalcoholic bar syrup, is the component that lends the drink its bright red hue.

This cocktail’s spirits and alcoholic ingredients are spiced Rum (of choice), Tequila, and some Fireball (a kind of Canadian alcoholic with a Whiskey base).

Remember to properly shake the syrup and alcohol mixture in a bar shaker before topping your drink glass with Sprite.

The soft drink works wonderfully with the taste combination of earthy, fruity Tequila and mild grassy, funky undertones from Rum. It will certainly satisfy your appetite.

6. Sprite And Cranberry Vodka Cocktail

Total time: About 2 minutes.

I personally adore cranberries-utilizing cocktails a lot, and I was highly thrilled to find this recipe of Sprite-mixed Cranberry Vodka cocktail recipe.

Vodka is renowned for its subtle flavor, high alcoholic content (up to 40%), and a burning effect when you drink it. Based on that, you can expect the shots of Sprite and cranberry juice can help to sweeten the drink and make it easier to consume.

If you want to serve this recipe for underage people, you can omit the Vodka. I guarantee it can be great in both ways.

7. Blood Orange Spritzer

Total time: About 5 minutes.

First, explain Spritzer; it is simply a chilled white wine combined with carbonated or sparkling water (such as Sprite). In this case, to whip up this cute, little pinkish cocktail glass, you should go for the blood orange-flavored sparkling water and the regular white wine.

The ideal ratio between sparkling water and white wine is 1:1, as your Spritzer cocktail won’t be too bland while the lovely citrusy wine is still well-preserved.

To decorate your drink, put on some fresh blood orange slices. Their lovely bright color can make your treat more appealing. This blood orange cocktail recipe is ideally served for family gatherings or special occasions like Christmas parties, Friendsgivings, or Thanksgiving.

Not every cocktail recipe is the same, and here is a Blood Orange Spritzer that can go with Sprite.

8. Tequila And Sprite Cocktail

Total time: Approximate 3 minutes.

My following recommendation is a failsafe Tequila cocktail that you can easily accomplish at home. You don’t need to use the mixing tumbler to make the perfect Tequila-mixed Sprite cocktail. Simply toss everything in a glass and enjoy it. Easy peasy!

When is the best time to have this tasty drink? I don’t believe there are any restrictions; nevertheless, sipping this cocktail while eating pungent, spicy delights would be fantastic. The drink’s calming sourness, coolness, and earthiness will improve the quality of your meals.

9. Hard Ocean Water

Total time: About 3 minute.

This cocktail is a gorgeous harmony from the combination of creamy, coconut-infused Vodka, subte bitter blue Curacao and citrusy Sprite. You can change the Vodka into Rum if you wish to have something stronger.

For the simple blue drink’ s garnishing, you can put on some coconut and thin slices of orange. The simplicity of this drink is its main allure. In case you love a quick and refreshing cocktail for a hot day, this Hard Ocean Water won’t let you down.

10. Shirley Temple Cocktail (Dirty Shirley)

Total time: About 5 minutes.

Also calling for Grenadine syrup, your cup of Shirley Temple or Dirty Shirley cocktails will have a signature red hue. Classic Shirley Temple is not an alcoholic drink. Its components are only ginger ale going with the sweetness from the Grenadine and other ingredients.

Yet, to make it more suitable for the adults’ parties, add a twist to the drink with some Vodka (or lime-flavored Vodka) and make it a Grenadine-based cocktail. Otherwise, using Gin for an additional pine needles-like flavor is also tasty. What a versatile and straightforward drink!

I’ll show you how to make both versions of Dirty Shirley (the original and the cocktail); feel free to spice them up with Sprite.

11. Pink Lemonade Vodka Slush

Total time: About 5 minutes (excluding at least 8 hours for freezing).

No easy Sprite cocktails list can be complete without a Vodka Slush. Typically, Slush refers to a kind of ice-blended beverage or drink with slushy ice. The idea to form this slushy cocktail with Vodka is also based on that.

Lemon concentrate (pink or other colors), Sprite (or any citrus soda you have), and Vodka are everything you might need. After that, pour those things into the ice cream pail and let the mixture freeze at least overnight before consuming.

You can even leave it there for a month, so feel free to prepare a big portion and devour it later. This Pink Lemonade Vodka Slush is a good suggestion for Christmas cocktails or meaningful bridal showers. This dreamy, pinky drink will enhance the romantic feeling efficiently. 

12. Cucumber Vodka Cocktail

Total time: Around 5 minutes.

It’s a breeze to whip up a big portion of this luscious Vodka cocktail, and it would be even better when you make it with your loved ones. The concept of infusing a cocktail recipe with cucumber first made me hesitate, but the result was superior.

The dominant cucumber flavors are from the unique cucumber-flavored Vodka. Now, your work is to stir this beloved alcohol up with Sprite and lemonade. The flavors from the soda can weaken the alcoholic intensity from the spirit while still preserving its true taste. 

I promise you will love how the light veggie-sweetness from cucumber assists the dryness of Vodka and lifts the quality of the drink to another level.

Having no Sprite on hand? This is another way to assemble your Cucumber Vodka Cocktail.

13. Jameson Irish Redhead Cocktail

Total time: About 1 minute.

Irish Whiskey will always be my most preferable recommendation for a beginner since this alcohol is undoubtedly easy to consume. The special Whiskey typically provides fruitiness, lightly floral, and vanilla scents with an absolute soothing effect.

To make Jameson Irish Redhead Cocktail, you’ll need to employ the shaker. Toss every ingredient (except Sprite) with the proper ratio to the shaker and do a few good shakes. The lime-flavored soda will go into your drink in the second-last step and acts as a “topping”.

In case you cannot find the suggested alcohol for this foolproof Whiskey cocktail, you can still make use of other Vodka Whiskey or Rum. Yet, the experience won’t be the same.

14. Tequila Mojito

Total time: About 2 hours (including the time to make mint syrup).

Some Tequila, mint syrup, and Sprite Zero (or regular one) are everything you need to have a glass of liquid deliciousness. Just like various cocktail recipes on this list, this Tequila Mojito is so easy to make that you don’t need a shaker to create a restaurant-quality cocktail to treat yourself.

The most time-consuming step in creating this Tequila Mojito is to make the mint syrup and let it chill before using. However, the homemade syrup can stay in the fridge for up to a week, so you can make it beforehand and store it there for a few next Tequila mojitos.

It’s the best guidance to show you how to make Tequila Mojito with your favorite lime-flavored soda (preferably Sprite).

15. Blueberry Lemon Vodka Martini

Total time: About 5 minutes (excluding the time to make blueberries reduction).

Martini is not a kind of alcohol but a cocktail consisting of Gin, Vermouth, or Vodka. This luscious martini cocktail recipe calls for lemon Vodka and Triple Sec (an orange-flavored liquor). Therefore, the predictable citrusy taste is a sure thing.

The blueberries reduction (or syrup) with Sprite splash is also irreplaceable in this treat. They both offer a more robust sweetness and an additional lime-like flavor.

When you assemble your authentic American cocktail, the reduction should be the first thing to go in the shaker, and the Sprite will be the last touch. Shake them well up to ensure everything combines, and serve the mixture in chilled martini glasses.

16. Giggle Juice Cocktail

Total time: About 10 minutes.

It’s one of my favorites. It has a beautiful sugar rim, which leaves a lovely, tingling sweetness on my lips whenever I have a sip of this easy yet tasty mixed drink.

The alcoholic ingredients for this Giggle Juice (lemon Vodka or Moscato d’asti) generally offer lovely fruity and citrusy layers. The Moscato d’asti wine also lends a great harmonization between grapes, orange blossoms, and peaches. How favorable!

There is no need to make this cocktail beforehand because it takes almost no time to prepare from scratch. However, if you intend to do so, simply whip up a big pitcher and leave it in the fridge with no ice cubes added. You won’t want to have a cup of bland drink later.

17. Summertime Cocktail

Total time: About 5 minutes.

Everything you have to do here is to stir every ingredient together, and your summer-y cocktail, which is so light that you can see it as a beverage, is done in a snap.

Lime/cranberry juice, Sprite, Vodka, and that’s it. You can easily find these things in any grocery near your house, so don’t wait any longer and prepare some of them whenever you have a chance. 

Aside from that, to reduce the sugary sweetness from soda and the premade juice, you can alter the regular ones to Sprite Zero and diet cranberry juice. This thirst-quenching drink can pair well with other heavy dishes and effectively reduce the greasy feeling.

18. Limoncello Spritz

Total time: Around 5 minutes.

Not a fan of Vodka? Then, what about referring to this Limoncello Spritz with Prosecco (a sparkling white wine), which has a light-bodied, crisp, and more vibrant taste than Vodka. You can change to Champagne if you cannot find Prosecco.

More importantly, this Prosecco-employed cocktail also requires Limoncello, an Italian liqueur with outstanding lemon candy-like flavor. The lemon and generally fruit notes from these alcohols are so potent that they can make you wow from the first sip.

Lastly, to make the best Limoncello cocktail here, simply follow the ratio of 3:2:1 of 3 parts wine with 2 parts liqueur and 1 part Sprite. Yummy!

Don’t hesitate to make Limoncello Spritz right away, just replace soda water with Sprite for a more intense taste!

19. Sex In The Driveway Rum Cocktail

Total time: Around 3 minutes.

Let’s end the list with another blue-ish cocktail recipe, Sex In The Driveway. The drink won’t be so intense that it can knock you up after a few shots; otherwise, you can see it as a thirst-quenching delight and ideal for people with a weak drinking capacity.

Blue Curacao (a bitter orange laraha-flavored liqueur native to the Dutch island of Curacao) is the star of Sex In The Driveway, which lends a distinct cooling hue of blue. Since the liqueur is flavored with orange, you can feel the peels’ mild bitterness and aromatic citrus tones.

Other components you’ll need here are some peach Schnapps (a grain spirit) with Rum and Sprite for the base. If you want to serve this light and toothsome cocktail in a meal, feel free to go for it because the soothing effect can elevate any heavy dishes.
