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.
