This easy cocktail delivers the bright, refreshing flavors of Italy’s Amalfi Coast with just three ingredients: Prosecco, limoncello, and club soda. It’s perfect for spring brunches, parties, or any time you want a light, flavorful drink.
Why This Cocktail Stands Out
Many popular spritzes, like Aperol or Hugo, can be overly sweet. The Amalfi cocktail offers a balanced alternative. Limoncello provides a tangy lemon flavor, softened by Prosecco and club soda, creating a drink that’s both vibrant and easy to enjoy. The cocktail captures the essence of the Amalfi Coast—where limoncello shots and spritzes are a staple—without being overly sugary.
How to Make It
The recipe is straightforward:
- Fill a wine glass with ice.
- Pour in equal parts chilled Prosecco (or another dry sparkling wine) and club soda.
- Add an equal amount of limoncello.
- Stir gently to combine.
Garnish with a lemon wheel or a sprig of mint, if desired, for a touch of elegance.
Pro Tip: Keep It Cold
For the most refreshing experience, chill all ingredients before mixing. Warm Prosecco or club soda can dilute the flavor and leave you with a less vibrant drink.
This cocktail offers a bright, light, and refreshing taste without the cloying sweetness of some other spritzes. It’s a quick way to bring the flavors of Italy to your next gathering.
