Follow The Directions

01

Step

Pre-chill all liquid ingredients (Prosecco, limoncello, and club soda) for at least 1 hour to ensure optimal refreshment. Place your serving glasses in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to get them nicely frosted. (Time: 60 minutes)

02

Step

Prepare your glasses by rimming them with sugar. Rub a lemon slice around the rim of each glass to moisten it. On a small plate, spread coarse sugar evenly. Gently dip the moistened rim of each glass into the sugar, rotating to coat evenly. (Time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Fill each prepared glass approximately halfway with ice. The amount of ice can be adjusted to your preference. (Time: 2 minutes)

04

Step

Pour 1/4 cup of chilled limoncello over the ice in each glass. Gently top with 1/3 cup of chilled Prosecco. (Time: 3 minutes)

05

Step

Add chilled club soda to each glass to taste, adjusting the amount to achieve your desired level of fizz. Gently stir to combine, being careful not to over-stir and lose the Prosecco's effervescence. (Time: 2 minutes)

06

Step

Garnish each spritz with a fresh lemon slice and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste of Italy. (Time: 1 minute)

For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a few fresh raspberries or blueberries to the glass before pouring in the liquids.
If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the amount of limoncello or omit the sugar rim.
Experiment with different citrus fruits for garnish, such as orange or grapefruit slices.
To make a pitcher for a crowd, multiply the ingredient quantities accordingly. Prepare just before serving to maintain the spritz's fizz.
