When the summer sun cranks up the heat, there’s nothing better than cooling off with a crisp, bubbly spritz in hand. Light, refreshing, and just the right amount of boozy, these cocktails are like a mini vacation in a glass. From the zesty pop of a classic Limoncello spritz to creative twists bursting with fresh fruit or herbs, every sip feels like you’ve been whisked away to the Italian coast—or maybe a lazy afternoon in the countryside.
Pallini Spritz Recipe
Ingredients
2 parts Pallini Limoncello
3 parts Prosecco

Method
Add all the ingredients to a large wine glass filled with ice and garnish with a lemon or orange slice.
And give the Pallini Limonzero (SRP: $18.99) a try. It offers the same authentic lemon flavor without the buzz, using the same Sfusato lemons. Gluten-free and vegan, it earned the top “Master” award at the 2022 Global Spirits Masters for its close resemblance to traditional limoncello.
