Limoncello is a lemon liqueur from southern Italy that’s commonly served after dinner as a digestivo, with the belief that it aids digestion. It’s such a delicious elixir that it inspired this bright and tart spritz. Paired with dry sparkling wine and club soda, limoncello turns into a refreshing, sippable drink to be enjoyed all summer long. The rosemary sprig that garnishes the glass gives off heavenly herbal notes as you drink. Look for lemon verbena or lemon thyme at the farmer’s market as they would make pretty, fragrant garnishes, too.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp limoncello

  • 5 tbsp dry sparkling wine

  • 3 tbsp club soda

  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • Rosemary sprig, for garnish

  • Lemon peel, for garnish

Directions

Fill a glass halfway with ice. Add the limoncello, sparkling wine, club soda, and fresh lemon juice. Stir to combine. Garnish with a rosemary sprig and lemon peel.
