Description

This simple yet elegant spritz blends sweet limoncello with bubbly Prosecco for a drink that’s sunshine in a glass. Whether you’re hosting guests or just toasting to yourself, this cocktail delivers crisp, zesty bliss with every sip.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup crushed ice

  • 4 oz limoncello

  • 12 oz Prosecco (DOC or DOCG, preferably)

  • ½ oz sparkling water (optional)

  • 2 slices lemon (for garnish)

  • Fruit and mint sprigs (optional garnish)


Instructions

  • Fill your glasses halfway with crushed ice.

  • Pour in the limoncello – 2 oz per glass.

  • Top with Prosecco – about 6 oz per glass.

  • Add a splash of sparkling water if you prefer a lighter version.

  • Garnish with lemon slices, and if desired, add mint sprigs or fruit for a festive touch.

 

  • Serve immediately and enjoy cold.

Notes

Use 12–14 oz tulip-shaped wine glasses for the best aroma and presentation.
For a richer taste and finer bubbles, opt for Prosecco DOCG over DOC.
This cocktail is best served fresh to keep the Prosecco nice and fizzy.
