Notes
If you'd prefer to make this limoncello spritz without prosecco, substitute the prosecco for soda water. This version really highlights the flavor of the limoncello.
Optionally, for a stronger limoncello spritz, add in a shot (1 ounce or 30 ml) of vodka. As long as you don't mind the taste of vodka, this is a great option!
If you'd prefer a sweeter cocktail, add a dash of simple syrup.
Be sure to give your mint a gentle clap on your hand before placing it as a garnish on the limoncello spritz. This helps extract the oils so you achieve a nice aroma.
