Notes

Recipe Notes

Note #1- This Measuring Shot Glass is an easy way to measure when making a single drink. However, I prefer using my Citrus Juicer with Measuring Cup.

Note #2- Proportions for a Pitcher:

750 milliliter bottle of Prosecco
2 cups Limoncello
1 cup Sparkling Water

Instructions for a Pitcher:

Add the limoncello, sparkling and Prosecco to the pitcher first.
Stir gently.
Layer in lemon slices.
Add ice and stir gently again.
Serve immediately.

Note #3- Storing the Limoncello in the freezer is a wonderful way to extend the life of the liqueur and helps to make this cocktail icy cold.
