Limoncello Spritz

Description

The Limoncello Spritz is a sunny twist on the classic Italian Aperol Spritz. Originating from southern Italy, limoncello is a traditional lemon liqueur made from Sorrento lemon zest, sugar, and alcohol. The spritz variation emerged as a lighter, fruitier option, especially popular along the Amalfi Coast and during summer aperitivo hours. It quickly gained popularity in bars across Europe for its simplicity, vibrant flavour, and holiday vibes in a glass.
