Limoncello Spritz

2 oz limoncello liqueur3 oz prosecco (or other dry sparkling wine), chilled1 oz club soda (or sparkling water), chilled1/2 oz fresh lemon juice1/4 oz simple syrup (1:1) or agave syrup1 cup ice1 piece lemon wheel or thin lemon slice (for garnish)1 sprig fresh mint sprig (optional, for garnish)1 tsp coarse sugar (optional, for rimming)

Method

Limoncello Spritz

Prepare glass (optional)

If you want a sugared rim, rub a lemon wedge around the outer rim of a large wine glass or stemmed glass, then dip the rim lightly into a small plate of coarse sugar to coat. Chill the glass for 2–3 minutes while you prepare the drink.

Build the drink

Fill the prepared glass about three-quarters full with ice (approximately 1 cup). Pour 2 oz limoncello over the ice, then add 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice and 0.25 oz simple syrup. Gently stir once or twice with a bar spoon to combine and slightly chill the mixture.

Top with bubbles

Carefully pour 3 oz chilled prosecco into the glass so as not to disturb the bubbles too much. Finish by adding 1 oz chilled club soda to lengthen the drink and add effervescence. Give a very gentle one-turn stir to incorporate.

Garnish and serve

Float a lemon wheel or thin lemon slice on the surface and add a fresh mint sprig if using. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer. Adjust sweetness to taste by adding an extra 0.25 oz simple syrup if desired.
