Notes
- I recommend pouring and serving the limoncello spritzer in single servings versus mixing it up in a large pitcher as a big batch. The bubbles will go flat after sitting out, and the ice will melt and water down the drink, so it’s best to mix each one up fresh. Keep the limoncello, prosecco, and club soda chilled in the refrigerator for the coldest drink and to help keep the ice in the glass frozen for longer.
- The sweetness will vary depending on the brand/type of limoncello. The limoncello adds the lemon flavor and the sweetness to the drink, so adjust the recipe according to personal preference. This spritz is nicely balanced and leans on the sweeter side. You can add more prosecco for less sweetness and/or add more club soda/sparkling water to thin out the potency.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra punch of flavor or to cut the sweetness.
