How to serve limoncello spritz

For the ultimate Limoncello Spritz experience, choose your glassware wisely. This cocktail is traditionally served in a tall, elegant wine glass, allowing you to appreciate its vibrant color. The long stem of the glass helps keep the drink chilled, while the wide bowl allows for the perfect balance of liquid and ice. The Limoncello Spritz is as visually appealing as it is delicious, and the wine glass showcases it beautifully.

Make it fun, add a garnish

Elevate your cocktail with limoncello and Prosecco with creative garnishes. Try a twist of lemon peel or a wedge or round of lemon for a citrusy aroma. Fresh mint leaves or a sprig of thyme for a burst of herbaceousness. A slice of ripe strawberry could be nice as well! Alternatively, you can experiment with colorful edible flowers such as marigolds for added visual appeal.
