Ingredients

Limoncello:

  • 750 mL vodka
  • 8 Wonderful Seedless Lemons
  • 4 cups water
  • 3 cups granulated sugar

For each cocktail:

  • 1 cup ice
  • 2 oz. limoncello
  • 3 oz. chilled Prosecco
  • 1 oz. club soda or seltzer
  • 1 sprig mint for garnish
  • 3 slices Wonderful Seedless Lemons for garnish

Preparation

  1. For the limoncello: Peel the lemons and add the skins to a glass container or jar. Pour in the vodka and close to seal. Place it in a cool place for at least two weeks, ideally a month; stir every couple of days.
  2. When the limoncello mixture is ready, prepare the syrup. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, sugar, and juice from the lemons. Cook until the sugar has dissolved completely. Transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Strain the limoncello and discard the skins. Combine the cooled simple syrup and limoncello mixture; transfer it to glass bottles or jars.
  4. Prepare the cocktail: For each serving, add ice to a glass; top it with limoncello, Prosecco, and club soda. Stir to mix well. Garnish it with the mint sprig and lemon slices. Serve immediately.
