Looking for a light and bubbly cocktail that bursts with sunshine? Look no further than the Limoncello Vodka Fizz! This vibrant drink combines the sweet citrus notes of Limoncello with the smooth character of vodka, topped with sparkling water for a delightful effervescent finish.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ ounces Limoncello
• 1 ½ ounces vodka
• ¾ ounce fresh lemon juice
• Club soda, chilled (to top off)
• Garnish: lemon wedge and mint sprig (optional)

Instructions:

1. Chill your glass: Pop your favorite highball or Collins glass in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. This ensures your drink stays refreshingly cold.

2. Combine the flavors: Add Limoncello, vodka, and lemon juice to the chilled glass.

3. Fill it up with fizz: Top the glass with chilled club soda, leaving a little room at the brim.

4. Gently stir (optional): Give the drink a quick stir with a bar spoon to combine the ingredients.

5. Time to garnish! Add a lemon wedge and a sprig of mint for a touch of visual appeal and a refreshing aroma.

Tips:

• Play with the proportions: Adjust the Limoncello and vodka to your preference. For a more citrus-forward drink, add a bit more Limoncello.

• Fresh is best: Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest flavor.

• Feeling fancy? Make your own Limoncello for an extra special touch (see our Limoncello recipe for details!).
• Sweet tooth? If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a splash of simple syrup to taste.
• Non-alcoholic option: Skip the vodka for a refreshing and delicious virgin mocktail.

With its vibrant color, delightful citrus flavor, and bubbly finish, the Limoncello Vodka Fizz is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. So grab your ingredients, get creative with garnishes, and enjoy this taste of summer in a glass!
