Limoncello spritz is an easy choice for a warm-weather aperitif: lemon liqueur brings sweetness, sparkling wine adds freshness, and soda lightens the mixture. This version uses more Prosecco than limoncello for a longer drink. Prepare individual glasses just before serving rather than mixing a pitcher far ahead.

Keep the bubbles lively
Chill all three liquids first so the ice melts more slowly. Pour the sparkling ingredients gently and never shake this drink. A dry Prosecco helps balance the sweetness of the liqueur; the result will still vary with the limoncello you choose.
