Limoncello Spritz Recipe — Summer's Easiest Cocktail
The Aperol spritz had a good run, but this is the limoncello spritz's moment — the sweet-sharp Italian lemon serve taking over beer gardens everywhere. Three ingredients, one big wine glass, instant Amalfi Coast. Here's the recipe.
Limoncello spritz ingredients
- 50 ml limoncello — try Evangelista Organic or anything from the limoncello collection.
- 75 ml chilled prosecco — the sparkling wine collection has you covered.
- 25 ml soda water — or go fancy with San Pellegrino.
- Fresh lemon and mint — a slice and a sprig to garnish.
How to make a limoncello spritz
- Fill a big wine glass generously with ice — more ice keeps it colder and less watery.
- Pour in the limoncello, then the prosecco, then top with soda.
- One gentle stir — you're mixing a spritz, not scrambling eggs.
- Garnish with a lemon slice and a slap of mint (literally — clap it between your hands to wake the aroma).
The ratio to remember: 3-2-1 — three parts prosecco, two parts limoncello, one part soda. Sweeter tooth? Nudge the limoncello up.
Easy twists
Add a spoon of limoncello over lemon sorbet and prosecco for a sgroppino, swap the soda for tonic for extra bite, or keep a bottle in the freezer so every spritz starts ice-cold. For the full lemon education, our limoncello collection covers classic and craft bottles alike.
Limoncello spritz FAQs
How strong is a limoncello spritz? Gentler than it tastes — with limoncello at around 25–30% ABV diluted by prosecco, soda and ice, it lands close to a glass of wine.
Can I make a pitcher? Absolutely — scale the 3-2-1 ratio, add the soda and ice just before serving, and garnish glasses individually.
