If you have a rather sweet white wine that you'd like to enhance, the **Elderflower Spritz** might be an excellent choice. With a high rating of 4.4/5, this cocktail is known for its refreshing and floral notes, which could nicely complement and balance the sweetness of your wine. The combination of elderflower liqueur and soda water will add a fragrant and fizzy touch, making the overall drink more sophisticated and enjoyable.

Another great option is the **Limoncello Spritz**, which comes with a stellar rating of 4.9/5. This cocktail brings together the effervescence of champagne or prosecco with zesty lemon liqueur and a splash of soda water. The vibrant citrus flavor could cut through the sweetness of your wine, creating a more balanced and refreshing beverage. This is perfect for a summer gathering or a casual evening, making your wine more versatile and pleasant to drink.

These cocktails are unshaken and not stirred, emphasizing simplicity and ease in preparation, which is always a plus when you're looking to quickly elevate the taste of your wine. Enjoy exploring these delightful spritz options!
