Amalfi Spritzer Cocktail

Author: Ashifa Bano
A hand holds a glass of yellow iced beverage garnished with a green leaf, on a white marble surface.

Light, zesty and sophisticated, the Amalfi Spritzer is a sparkling tribute to coastal Italy. Limoncello, a liqueur made by infusing lemon zest and southern Italian charm, is at the core of this drink. It is bright but gentle, with just enough sweetness to feel decadent without being overbearing, and tastes great when served over ice.

Tips & Suggestions

  • For a strong, zesty flavour, use a premium limoncello; inferior varieties taste too sweet or artificial and stifle the cocktail’s vibrant citrus flavour.

  • Just before serving, garnish with a freshly squeezed lemon wheel and a mint sprig. The scent of mint leaves elevates the beverage and pairs well with the zest of the limoncello.
