  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 cocktail 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz Prosecco (A sparkling Italian wine that brings a light and crisp bubbly element to the cocktail)
  • 1 oz Limoncello (An Italian lemon liqueur known for its tangy, sweet flavor)

Optional Ingredients to Enhance Your Cocktail:

  • Fresh lemon slices (For garnish and added zest)
  • A sprig of fresh mint (For a refreshing herbal note)
  • A splash of soda water (For a lighter, more effervescent drink)
  • A dash of elderflower liqueur (For a floral complexity)

Instructions

  1. Chill Your Glasses: Begin by chilling your glassware to keep the cocktail cool. You can place your glasses in the freezer for a few minutes or simply fill them with ice water while you prepare the drink.
  2. Pour the Prosecco: Fill a flute or a wine glass with 16 oz of chilled prosecco. The sparkling wine provides a bubbly base that pairs wonderfully with the citrusy sweetness of the limoncello.
  3. Add the Limoncello: Pour 1 oz of limoncello into the glass with prosecco. The limoncello’s lemony flavor will infuse the drink with its signature tangy sweetness.
  4. Garnish and Serve: For an extra touch, garnish with a fresh lemon slice or a sprig of mint. You can also add a small splash of soda water to give it a more refreshing effervescence, or if you like floral notes, add a dash of elderflower liqueur.
  5. Enjoy: Sip and enjoy the bright, crisp flavors of this refreshing limoncello cocktail. Perfect for any celebration, brunch, or relaxing evening.

Notes

  • Chill your prosecco: Ensure your prosecco is well-chilled before making this cocktail to keep it refreshing and cool.
  • Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet drink, you can adjust the amount of limoncello to your taste. Some people may like just a splash for a more subtle lemon flavor.
  • Garnishing: Fresh lemon slices or sprigs of mint make a beautiful garnish for this cocktail and add an extra layer of flavor.
