Raspberry Limoncello Spritz


  • Author: Jessica
  • Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:

  • 🍋 2 oz limoncello (chilled)

  • 🍓 ½ cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)

  • 🍋 ½ oz fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)

  • 🥂 3 oz prosecco or sparkling water (for a lighter version)

  • 🍯 ½ tsp simple syrup (optional, depending on your sweetness preference)

  • 🌿 Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

  • 🍋 Lemon slices or twists (for garnish)

  • 🧊 Ice cubes


Instructions

 

Step 1: Muddle the raspberries
Place fresh raspberries in a cocktail shaker or glass and gently muddle to release their juice, but avoid crushing the seeds too much for a smoother texture.

Step 2: Add limoncello and lemon juice
Pour in 2 oz of chilled limoncello and ½ oz of fresh lemon juice. Add simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.

Step 3: Fill with ice
Add ice cubes to the shaker or glass until about three-quarters full.

Step 4: Shake gently or stir
If using a shaker, give it a gentle shake to mix the flavors well without bruising the raspberries too much. If making directly in the glass, stir gently.

Step 5: Top with prosecco or sparkling water
Strain the mixture into a large wine glass or highball glass filled with fresh ice. Top with 3 oz of prosecco for a classic spritz or sparkling water for a lighter version.

Step 6: Garnish and serve
Add a few whole raspberries, a sprig of fresh mint, and a lemon slice or twist for an eye-catching finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

To ensure your Raspberry Limoncello Spritz turns out perfectly every time:

  • Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best natural sweetness and color.

  • Chill your limoncello and prosecco beforehand for a cold, refreshing finish.

  • Gently muddle raspberries to avoid bitter seeds.
