Limoncello Spritz with bubbles

Ingredients Needed for This Limoncello Spritz

Limoncello Spritz Ingredients Needed
🍋 Limoncello – This is what gives the drink that lemon flavor. It’s the main part of the spritz and really sets the tone.

🍋 Prosecco – Adds the bubbles and balances everything out. It’s what makes this feel like a classic spritz. If you are making for a party grab a big bottle, if it’s just you or just making a couple- grab a small bottle.

🍋 Soda Water – Just a splash helps lighten the drink and adds a little extra fizz. You can add more if you want it a bit less strong. You can get crazy and use a citrus flavored sparkling water.

🍋 Ice – Keeps everything nice and cold. I like to fill the glass so the drink stays chilled.

🍋 Lemon Slice or Wedge – Adds a fresh touch at the end. You can also squeeze it in if you want a little more lemon in your drink.
