Notes
Chill your ingredients: This is non-negotiable! Make sure your Limoncello, Prosecco, and even your soda water are all well-chilled before you start mixing. A cold drink stays fizzy and refreshing for longer.
Use chilled glasses: Go a step further and pop your glasses in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving. A frosty glass keeps the drink colder and prevents the ice from melting too quickly.
Buy the right prosecco: The key is to buy a dry Prosecco. Look for bottles labeled "Brut" or "Extra Brut." While "Extra Dry" might sound like a good choice, in the world of Prosecco, it actually means slightly sweeter. A dry Prosecco will balance the sweetness of the Sorrento's Limoncello spritz.
Plain soda water: Use a plain soda water with no added flavors. You want the bright, citrusy notes of the Limoncello to be the star, and a flavored soda could ruin the spritz.
Use quality limoncello: Since Limoncello is the main ingredient, its quality makes all the difference. While a good store-bought brand will work well, the very best is homemade Limoncello.
