Limoncello Spritz 🍋✨

This drink just feels like sunshine in a glass. It’s light, fizzy, citrusy, and crazy simple to make.

If you’ve ever had a spritz before (hi, Aperol fans!), this is the sweet, lemony cousin.

I love making this for brunches or when we’re hanging out on the patio in warm weather.

It’s quick to put together, but still feels special.

Plus—it’s so pretty.

🍋 What You’ll Need:

3 oz Limoncello (chilled)
3 oz Prosecco (chilled)
1 oz soda water (chilled)
Ice cubes
Lemon slices (thinly sliced)
Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

👩‍🍳 Pro Tips:

Chill everything before you start. A cold drink = max refreshment.
Use a wine glass or stemmed glass to keep things festive.
Don’t stir too much after adding soda water—let the bubbles do their thing.
Let kids join the fun with a “mocktail” version using lemon soda, sparkling water, and a mint garnish.
Want to make it extra special? Use a lemon sugar rim!

🛠 Tools You’ll Need:

Tall wine glasses
Jigger or small measuring cup
Bar spoon or long-handled spoon
Small cutting board & knife (for lemon slices)

🔄 Substitutions & Variations:

No Prosecco? Use any dry sparkling wine or non-alcoholic sparkling white.
Want it sweeter? Add a splash of simple syrup.
Swap mint for basil for a fun twist.

⏰ Make Ahead Tips:

You can slice the lemons and pre-chill all your liquids a few hours before serving. Just assemble right before drinking so it stays bubbly.

🍹 How to Make a Limoncello Spritz

Step 1: Fill your glass with ice

Grab a tall wine glass and fill it about ¾ full with ice cubes.

Step 2: Pour in 3 oz of chilled limoncello

Measure and pour the limoncello directly over the ice.

Step 3: Add 3 oz of chilled Prosecco

Slowly pour in the Prosecco to keep those bubbles nice and lively.

Step 4: Top with 1 oz of soda water

Just a splash to lighten it up and add extra fizz.

Step 5: Garnish with lemon slices and mint

Pop a thin lemon slice or two into the glass, and tuck in a fresh mint sprig.

🧊 Leftovers & Storage

This one’s best made fresh—don’t store it. But you can save any leftover limoncello and prosecco (if you’re lucky enough to have some left!) in the fridge for the next round.

✨ That’s It!
