Notes
Depending on the brand/type of Limoncello, the sweetness will vary. The Limoncello is adding the lemon flavor and the sweetness to the drink, so adjust the recipe according to personal preference. As written, the spritz is nicely balanced and leans on the sweeter side. Add more Prosecco for less sweetness and/or add more club soda/sparkling water to thin out the potency.Some of the specialty brands of sparkling water make a “Limoncello” flavor. You can use this in your Limoncello Spritz instead of the plain club soda.Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra punch of flavor or to cut the sweetness.I recommend pouring and serving Limoncello spritz as single servings versus mixing up in a pitcher. 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 Limoncello, Prosecco, and club soda chilled in the refrigerator for the coldest drink. You can even freeze ice cubes made from Limoncello to prevent watering down of the drink.
