A Limoncello Spritz is a refreshing, bubbly Italian cocktail that we became obsessed with on a recent trip to the Mediterranean. So easy to make with just 3 ingredients. Our favorite summer cocktail!
What is in a Limoncello Spritz –
- just three little ingredients
- Limoncello – you can make your own with this easy recipe or buy a bottle at most grocery or liquor stores
- Prosecco – an Italian version of sparkling wine
- Club Soda – or mineral water if you prefer
What is the ratio for Limoncello Spritz –
The best Limoncello Spritz we had was in a little restaurant in Venice and I got this straight from the Italian Bartender so you know its authentic.
- Equal parts of all three. 1/3 Limoncello, 1/3 Prosecco and 1/3 Club Soda. Feel free to adjust if you like it more bubbly, less sweet. Sometimes I increase the club soda to make it less boozy. That way I can have two…or three…
- Make it by the glass or the pitcher – no measuring required.
We love our pool this time of year. We love it even better with summer cocktails and friends. I always have this Limoncello Spritz on hand.
It’s like Sunshine in a glass!
