Method
Build & Serve
Chill glass
If time allows, chill the wine glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill briefly with ice water then discard. A cold glass keeps the spritz crisp.
Add ice
Fill the chilled glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice (approximately 1 cup).
Pour limoncello
Measure and pour 1.5 oz house limoncello over the ice. This is the sweet citrus backbone of the cocktail.
Add Prosecco
Slowly pour 3 oz well-chilled Prosecco into the glass. Pouring slowly helps preserve bubbles and avoids foaming over.
Top with soda
Gently add 1 oz chilled club soda (or sparkling water) to brighten and lighten the spritz. Use the back of a bar spoon if you want an even softer integration.
Stir gently
Using a bar spoon, give the cocktail one or two gentle turns to combine ingredients without flattening the Prosecco.
