The limoncello is a traditional liqueur from Campania, now famous worldwide, enjoyed as a digestif after meals. How about using it to prepare an excellent aperitif? Here’s the limoncello spritz, a fresh and sparkling summer cocktail.
What could be better than enjoying a fresh spritz on hot summer days with friends? It’s super quick to make! It’s a cocktail, obviously alcoholic. Unlike the classic version, it doesn’t contain Aperol but rather limoncello. Super quick to prepare, perfect for happy hour and aperitifs.
The perfect way to relax after a long day at work. A mix of fresh, unique, and refreshing aromas. Cheers!
