Sparkling Limoncello Cocktail
Refreshing, citrusy, fizzy, and oh-so-pretty, limoncello comes to life in a simple sparkling cocktail.
Servings: 2 People
Ingredients
- Ice
- 3 ounces (6 tablespoons) fresh lime or lemon juice
- 3 ounces (6 tablespoons) limoncello
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Simple Syrup or to taste
- 4 ounce (1/2 cup) sparkling wine (such as prosecco; or sparkling water or club soda; to taste)
- Lemon or lime wheels and mint sprigs (to garnish)
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the lime juice, limoncello, and simple syrup. Shake until the drink is cold and the outside of the shaker is beaded with condensation.
- Strain into 2 cups or glasses of your choice, dividing it evenly. Add the sparkling wine or water. Garnish with mint sprigs and citrus wheels.
Notes
This cocktail can be on the sweeter side if you like or on the tarter side if that’s more your speed. Play around with the amount of simple syrup and citrus juice. Also, see how you like the ratio of sparkling wine/water to the limoncello base and adjust to taste.
