Why not just drink bubbly, or just limoncello? Well, yes,
there’s nothing wrong with either of those options. But I was curious what
combining two of my favorite things would be like. And since we’ve had that
bottle lurking in the refrigerator for quite some time, it’s time it came out
to play. Plus I made way too much limoncello this holiday season.
Prosecco Limoncello
cocktail
Adapted from the ProseccoClub.com
Ingredients
8 strips lemon peel (or more)
16 tablespoons limoncello
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 bottle Prosecco or other sparkling wine like Champagne
Lemon slice and sugar for optional sugared rim
Method
If you want a sugared rim for effect, rub a cut lemon around
the rim of the champagne glass or flute and then dip it in sugar.
To each of 8 glasses, add a strip (or more) of lemon peel, 2
tablespoons limoncello, ½ teaspoon lemon juice and fill up with Prosecco. Sit
back and watch the lemon zest bounce.
Rating: The
recipe originally called for half the amount of limoncello, but it was scarcely
noticeable at that level. We tried a second one and doubled the amount and
decided that was the sweet spot. It’s less boozy than just drinking straight limoncello
and adds a nice touch of lemon to the Prosecco. Plus, it’s just fun to watch
the lemon zest go for a ride.
