Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz Limoncello (homemade or store-bought)
- 3 oz Prosecco (or any dry sparkling wine)
- 1 oz Soda water
- Ice cubes
- Fresh lemon slices (for garnish)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Start by chilling a large wine glass or a highball glass. Fill it with ice cubes to keep your Limoncello Spritz refreshingly cold. Add a slice of lemon and a few mint leaves for a fragrant touch.
- Add Limoncello: Pour 2 oz of limoncello over the ice. The bright yellow liqueur will infuse the drink with its signature citrusy sweetness.
- Top with Prosecco: Gently pour 3 oz of chilled Prosecco into the glass. The bubbles will lift the flavors and add a sophisticated sparkle to your Limoncello Spritz.
- Finish with Soda Water: Add 1 oz of soda water to balance the sweetness and enhance the drink’s refreshing quality. Stir lightly to combine.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with an extra lemon slice and a sprig of fresh mint for a visually appealing presentation. Serve immediately while cold and bubbly.
Notes
- Use high-quality limoncello for the best flavor.
- Chill all ingredients before mixing to keep the drink crisp.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of soda water.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute limoncello with lemon syrup and use sparkling water instead of Prosecco.
