A spritzer is a tall, chilled drink, usually made with white wine and soda water.
The word comes from the German spritzen "sprinkle", i.e. adding water and thus diluting the wine so that it can be consumed in larger, thirst-quenching amounts without the negative effects of alcohol.
Spritzer is a false friend: The German word for spritzer is "Schorle", which derives from French.
