Limoncello Spritz Ingredients
- 2 oz Limoncello
- 3 oz Chilled Prosecco (or other Sparkling White Wine)
- 1 oz Soda Water
- Lemon Wheel or Fresh Mint Sprig (for Garnish)
How to Make A Limoncello Spritz
- Fill a large wine glass glass generously with ice.
- Pour in the limoncello.
- Add the chilled Prosecco.
- Top with soda water.
- Gently stir once or twice to combine the ingredients.
- Garnish with a lemon wheel or a fresh mint sprig.
Ensure all your liquid ingredients, especially the Prosecco and limoncello, are well chilled before mixing. This helps maintain the drink's effervescence and crispness.
Limoncello Spritz Riff
Add a fresh, herbaceous twist to your Limoncello Spritz by muddling a few basil leaves or a small sprig of rosemary in the bottom of the glass before adding ice. For a more tart version, add a small squeeze of fresh lemon juice. You can also experiment with different sparkling wines, such as a dry brut Champagne for a more luxurious feel, or a splash of grapefruit juice instead of soda water for added citrus complexity.
