    When it comes to a cocktail made with limoncello, the one that tops my list is a simple Limoncello Spritz. It's a simple and refreshing summer cocktail recipe.

    Limoncello Spritz recipe, super refreshing and light summer cocktail.

    I do love a good cocktail and the easier to make it the better, especially when you are making a few for friends.

    I have a friend who is 100% Italian. Here parents came to the U.S. from Sicily when they were younger. And she makes delicious homemade Limoncello.

    I have made it as well over the years however why should I make it now when I can get a bottle or two from her?? I can easily swap her for some the boozy concoctions I make. Her family fell in love with my Chocolate Moonshine especially.

    Why you'll love a Limoncello Spritz

    When its hot out and you want a refreshing summer drink a Limoncello Spritz fits the bill. It's light and not too potent. A Limoncello shot by itself is also delicious, served ice cold from the freezer, however a few of those could land you on your butt lol!

    Cocktails made with Limoncello, give you that pop of lemon with a sweet yet tart taste. It limoncello cocktails just taste fresh.

    Ingredients

    • Limoncello - homemade or store-bought
    • Prosecco
    • Ice

    Garnish Ideas

    • Lemon wedge
    • Lemon peel curl
    • Edible flowers (pictured below flowers of brussels sprouts)
    • Mint leaves

    Variations

    • To make Limoncello drink this with less alcohol add split the Prosecco with club soda or seltzer.
    • To make this cocktail more lemony add a TBS of fresh squeezed lemon juice.
    • To make it less calories, omit the Prosecco and just add club/seltzer.
    • Add in a splash of raspberry juice or strawberry juice for a different color and flavor.

    Make Ahead

    Other than homemade limoncello (if you choose). You can not make these ahead of time. They are best made just as you want to enjoy them.

    Next time you are in the mood for a boozy drink, give this easy to make Limoncello Spritz recipe a try, cheers!

    Ingredients
      

    • Ice
    • 2 oz limoncello more or less to your taste
    • 4 oz prosecco more or less to your taste
    • splash club soda (optional)

    Instructions
     

    • Fill tall glasses or large tumblers halfway with ice.
    • Add in limoncello and prosecco, give a quick stir.
    • Top with a splash of club (if desired), garnish with a lemon wedge or flowers and serve.

    Notes

    There is no right or wrong way to make this simple spritz cocktail. Add as much limoncello and prosecco as you enjoy. Add in club soda is optional. It dilutes the flavor in my opinion. However, for less calories or making your liquor go further in a party situation its a great addition.
    True measurements depend on the size glass you choose to use. I say go big or go home lol! 
    *As always drink responsibly.
