This Limoncello Spritz is a refreshing Italian cocktail made with Limoncello liqueur, prosecco, soda water, and a splash of lemon juice. It's my go-to summer pitcher cocktail that has a citrusy sweetness, perfect for sipping on a sunny day or as a pre-dinner aperitif.

Notes

Limoncello Tips

WAIT to add the soda water & ice until guests arrive to maintain the bubbly effervescence of this cocktail. I always serve ice on the side so I do not water down the drink.
Chill the pitcher for at least an hour before serving or make sure your limoncello, club soda and vodka are VERY cold before mixing.
Serve this cocktail in large goblet-type glasses or larger wine glasses. A straw is highly recommended for sipping.

*Serve with my Summer Strawberry Salad for the perfect summer get-together pairing.
