    A sparkling limoncello cocktail that's perfect for warm sunny days. It's sharp, juicy, so refreshing and made with only 3 simple ingredients and garnished with mint leaves and freshly cut lemon slices.

    Bring on Summer cocktails....

    I'm aware Spring has only just arrived but the warmer weather and sunny blue skies have got me excited for Summer and all the yummy cocktails that come with it like my Prosecco strawberry slushie << omg SO good!

    Quite frankly, this sparkling limoncello cocktail can be enjoyed any time of the year, I love it, it's juicy, refreshing and lip smackingly dee-lish!

    The three simple ingredients in this cocktail are Limoncello (who knew!?), lemon soda and PROSECCO! Who doesn't love prosecco?! Noone.

    The lemon soda should be tart, sweet and sparkling. I use Sanpellegrino Sparkling Lemon Soda for best results, if you can find it in your supermarket or order it online it's well worth it. If not get something similar that's very tart and lemony.

    How To Make Sparkling Limoncello Cocktail - Step By Step

    Measure 1 shot of limoncello and pour it into the serving glass. Add 2 shots of lemon soda and top up with prosecco.

    Add 1-2 ice cubes and garnish with sprigs of mint and slices of freshly cut lemon.

    Appetizers To Go With Cocktails

    • Roasted fennel, salami and ricotta crostini

    • Pan fried gnocchi (served with dips)

        You should be able to buy it in most supermarkets/grocery stores. If looking for an Italian version I recommend San Pellegrino Limonata or Freedea Lemon Soda.

      We recently made homemade Lemoncello and were looking for ideas other than just serving it over ice. This was refreshing and delicious. I served it with blueberry pie. It was a great combo!5 stars

      Found your blog - and this great recipe! - just in time to make this for Fourth of July. Granted, it's not red, white, or blue, but it IS delicious, and was just perfect for creating a bit of a celebration at this time. Plus it reminded us of the good times we have had in Italy, which was a nice thing after all these months of not being able to travel. Thank you so much!
