Notes
Chill the ingredients. For the best results, make sure all the ingredients are well chilled before assembling the cocktail. This helps maintain the refreshing and crisp nature of the drink.
Use fresh ingredients. Opt for freshly squeezed lemon juice to maximize the citrus flavor of the cocktail. Fresh ingredients always yield the best results.
Layering the ingredients wisely. When layering the ingredients in the glass, start with the heaviest and most flavorful liquids first, such as the Limoncello and lemon juice, followed by the lighter Prosecco and sparkling water. This helps create a visually appealing drink and ensures the flavors blend perfectly as you sip.
