Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 oz Limoncello (preferably Sorrento or Capri)
- 3–4 oz Brut or Extra Dry Prosecco
- 1–2 oz Soda Water
- 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary
- Ice cubes (large preferred)
- Lemon wheels for garnish
Instructions
- Take a fresh rosemary sprig and hold it in your palm, then give it a firm slap against your hand to release the essential oils.
- Fill a highball glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly to keep the drink cold.
- Pour 1.5 ounces of Limoncello over the ice.
- Slowly pour 3-4 ounces of chilled Prosecco over the ice to preserve the bubbles.
- Top with 1-2 ounces of soda water.
- Drop the slapped rosemary sprig into the glass and add a slice of lemon for garnish.
- Gently stir once or twice with a bar spoon to mix without losing carbonation.
- Serve immediately while cold and bubbly.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are chilled before mixing to prevent rapid ice melt. Slapping the rosemary is crucial for releasing aroma. Do not over-stir to maintain carbonation. For a non-alcoholic version, swap Prosecco for extra soda water and add lemon juice.
