Springtime is finally here, and with it comes sunshine, warm weather, and blooming flowers. Spring also brings the desire to lighten up the food and drinks we serve when the weather is warm. So here is the perfect cocktail for you to kick off the warm weather seasons — the Limoncello Spritz!

Unlike the Aperol Spritz, Limoncello is not as bitter and makes for a sweeter cocktail. Limoncello is also an Italian liqueur made with lemon zest, sugar, and vodka. The light lemon taste is just delicious and refreshing, making it perfect to serve for your Easter get-together. Lemon pairs so nicely with the food we generally serve at Easter.

Why You’ll Love the Limoncello Spritz

If you’re a fan of bright, citrusy flavors and drinks that feel like sunshine in a glass, this cocktail is your dream come true. The Limoncello Spritz is light, bubbly, and just sweet enough to be sipped leisurely on a spring afternoon or served as a welcome drink at your Easter gathering.

It’s a fantastic alternative to the classic Aperol Spritz—less bitter, more lemon-forward, and equally festive. The 3-2-1 formula (three parts Prosecco, two parts Limoncello, one part Club Soda) makes it super easy to remember and even easier to whip up. You don’t need to be precise with measurements—just pour to your liking straight into the glass!

Serving Tips for Entertaining

This cocktail is beautiful served individually and quick to assemble, so there’s no need to prep a large batch. While you can make it in a pitcher, the fizz from the Prosecco and club soda will start to fade, so it’s best enjoyed freshly mixed.

Want to wow your guests from the moment they walk in the door? Have your glasses ready with ice and garnishes, and mix each drink to order. The lemon wheels and rosemary sprigs add that picture-perfect touch—fresh, fragrant, and oh-so-inviting.

A Go-To for Spring and Summer Sipping

Whether you’re clinking glasses over Easter brunch or lounging on the patio with friends, the Limoncello Spritz is bound to become your seasonal favorite. It’s the kind of cocktail that looks elegant, tastes refreshing, and brings a little sparkle to any occasion.

The subtle sweetness of Limoncello, combined with bubbly Prosecco and a splash of soda, makes this the perfect sip when the weather turns warm.

Keep a bottle of Limoncello chilled and some Prosecco on hand, and you’ll be ready to mix one up at a moment’s notice.

Final Sip

There’s just something about lemon that screams spring, and this Limoncello Spritz captures all of that fresh, zesty magic in one glass.

Whether you’re toasting with family at Easter or relaxing with friends under the sun, this cocktail is a crowd-pleasing favorite.

Refreshing, elegant, and effortless—it just might be your new favorite drink of the season. Cheers to sunshine and spritzes!
