Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cups Prosecco (Italian sparkling white wine)

  • 1 cup limoncello liqueur

  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can club soda, or as needed

  • ¼ cup coarse sugar, or as needed

  • 1 lemon slice

  • 4 lemon slices, for garnish

  • fresh mint leaves for garnish

Directions

  1. Chill Prosecco, limoncello, and soda water. Place glasses in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before using.

  2. Pour sugar onto a small plate or saucer and spread out. Run lemon slice around the edge of each glass. Turn a glass upside down and place into the sugar, coating just the rim of each glass.

  3. Fill each glass about 1/2 full with ice.

  4. Pour 1/4 cup limoncello over the ice in each glass, and top with 1/3 cup Prosecco. Add chilled soda water to taste and gently stir.

  5. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint sprigs. Serve ice cold.

Cook's Notes:

Make sure all ingredients are well chilled. For less sweetness, don't add a sugar rim, or add fresh squeezed lemon juice to taste.

I keep homemade limoncello in the freezer! Not only does this extend the shelf life, it makes any drink extra cold.
