Two chilled ingredients make a drink whose proportions have their own vocabulary.

ORIGINS & EVOLUTION

A whole family of spritzers.

Fröccs is the Hungarian name for a wine-and-soda spritzer. Different ratios have different names: equal parts wine and soda make a kisfröccs, while other versions change the balance.

CULTURAL CONTEXT

Wine and bubbles in a simple glass.

The drink draws on Hungary’s wine and soda-water traditions. A plain, well-carbonated soda lets the wine remain the main flavor, without adding the strong mineral taste of some bottled waters.

AT THE TABLE

Keep both ingredients cold.

Our small equal-parts version needs no garnish. Chilling the liquids in advance avoids melting ice changing the ratio. Assemble at serving time, stir gently once, and enjoy while the soda is still lively.
