Why Lemon Spritz is the Perfect Summer Drink
The beauty of the Lemon Spritz lies in its simplicity. The bold citrus of Limoncino Bottega creates a bright and tangy base, while the bubbly Bottega Gold Prosecco brings a refreshing, effervescent touch. Adding soda keeps it light, making it an ideal cocktail for hot summer days when you need something to cool off. Plus, garnishing with mint and lemon adds an extra layer of freshness, both in taste and presentation.
This cocktail is also incredibly versatile—it pairs perfectly with a range of light, summery foods like fresh salads, seafood dishes, or charcuterie boards. Serve it as a welcome drink at your next gathering, or enjoy it with a late afternoon snack to unwind in style.
Serving Suggestions & Variations
To serve the Lemon Spritz, we recommend using a large, long-stemmed glass filled with ice to keep the drink chilled and refreshing. For an extra pop of flavor, add a dash of fresh lemon juice before mixing for a slightly more tart profile. You can also play with the garnish by adding a twist of lemon peel or even edible flowers for a decorative, summery touch.
Looking for a non-alcoholic alternative? Simply swap the Bottega Gold Prosecco and Limoncino with lemon-flavored sparkling water or non-alcoholic sparkling wine and a dash of lemon juice for a refreshing mocktail that’s just as enjoyable.
