Chill both the white wine and sparkling water in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before preparing the drink.
Cut the fresh lemon in half and squeeze juice from one half into a small bowl, straining out any seeds.
Fill a large wine glass with the ice cubes.
Pour 150 ml of dry white wine into the glass over the ice.
Add 150 ml of chilled sparkling water to the glass to create a 1:1 ratio of wine to sparkling water.
Stir the mixture gently to combine.
Add a dash of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the glass for a citrusy brightness. Adjust the amount based on your taste preference.
Garnish the drink with a slice of the remaining lemon half and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately while cold and effervescent. Enjoy your Kaiserspritzer!
