While there isn't one single universally accepted name for white wine and lemonade, it's most commonly known as a white wine spritzer when mixed.
Here's a breakdown of why and what other names it might go by:
- White Wine Spritzer: This is the most common term, especially if it includes sparkling water (soda water) in addition to, or instead of, lemonade. The lemonade acts as the sweet component.
- Wine Cooler: Although technically, a wine cooler is a broader term for wine-based cocktails that are often commercially produced, a homemade mix of white wine and lemonade could fall under this category.
- Variations Depending on Locale: Specific regions or bars might have their own unique names for this drink, but those are less standardized.
In essence, the combination of white wine and lemonade is generally considered a type of white wine spritzer where the lemonade contributes sweetness and a slight tartness to complement the wine. If someone orders "white wine with lemonade", a bartender would likely serve a version of a white wine spritzer using lemonade.
