Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Limoncello Basil Spritzer.
Step 1
To create a refreshing cocktail that’s perfect for any occasion, start by taking a cocktail shaker and gently muddling together some juicy lemon wedges, fragrant fresh basil leaves, and zesty lemonade until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 2
Next, pour in the delightful limoncello and add a handful of ice to the shaker.
Step 3
Secure the lid tightly and give it a vigorous shake, letting the chill of the ice work its magic.
Step 4
Once it’s nice and cold, strain the mixture into two elegant champagne glasses, making sure to divide it evenly for a balanced treat.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to add a touch of sparkle! Carefully top each glass with bubbly Prosecco, allowing those effervescent bubbles to rise and settle before finishing off with a splash of lemon-lime soda for that extra zing.
Step 6
For the final flourish, garnish your cocktails with a lovely slice of lemon or a twist of lemon zest, adding a pop of color and a hint of aroma.
Step 7
Enjoy this delightful drink with friends, and let the refreshing flavors transport you to a sunny day!.
