Limoncello Spritz: Where Citrus Dreams Meet Simple Glamor

The most sophisticated sip of the summer could very well be the Limoncello Spritz. An Italian based cocktail similar to the Aperol Spritz but swaps the bitter Aperol for a citrusy/sweet digestive called Limoncello. A drink where simplicity meets citrus zest and transports you to the beaches of the Amalfi Coast with every sip.

What’s a Limoncello Spritz?

Well to start, a Spritz is a wine based cocktail commonly served as an Aperitif. It typically consists of 3 ingredients- Prosecco, Digestive Bitters and Club Soda.

Limoncello is a traditional Italian liqueur that originates from Southern Italy.  It is made from steeping lemon zest in a neutral spirit, like vodka or a grain alcohol. It has a bittersweet taste and strong lemon aroma. It is typically served straight up chilled or as an ingredient in other cocktails.
