Print Recipe

A bright, bubbly, and dangerously easy-to-drink cocktail that comes together in under 2 minutes with just three main ingredients. Perfect for New Year’s Eve or any celebration, this limoncello spritz tastes like a lemon grove threw a party in a glass.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ounces (90 ml) limoncello (recommended: Pallini Limoncello)
  • 4 ounces (120 ml) prosecco, extra dry or brut (recommended: La Marca or Zonin)
  • 1–2 ounces (30–60 ml) club soda (recommended: Canada Dry or Schweppes)
  • Ice cubes (large cubes preferred)
  • Fresh lemon wheel or slice (for garnish, optional)
  • Fresh mint sprig (for garnish, optional)
  • Edible flowers or pomegranate arils (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Chill your glass in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, or fill with ice water while prepping and dump out right before adding ingredients.
  2. Fill the glass with ice cubes until about three-quarters full.
  3. Measure and pour 3 ounces (90 ml) of limoncello over the ice.
  4. Slowly pour 4 ounces (120 ml) of chilled prosecco into the glass, tilting the glass slightly and pouring down the side to preserve bubbles.
  5. Add 1-2 ounces (30-60 ml) of club soda, depending on desired bubbliness.
  6. Stir gently with a bar spoon or long spoon for about 3-4 gentle rotations to combine without losing carbonation.
  7. Add garnish: float a lemon wheel on top, add a mint sprig (slap it first to release oils), and drop a few pomegranate arils if desired.
  8. Serve immediately within 5 minutes of making.

Notes

Keep all ingredients and glass cold for best results. Use large ice cubes to slow melting. The 3:4:1 ratio (limoncello to prosecco to club soda) is key. Make individual servings rather than a big batch as bubbles fade quickly. For a non-alcoholic version, replace limoncello with lemon Italian soda syrup and prosecco with sparkling water.
