Encyclopedia: List of German expressions in English


Spritzer 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.
