Ingredients

• 1 cup limoncello liqueur

• 1 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
• Ice cubes
• Lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large pitcher, combine the limoncello, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Stir well to mix.
2. Gently tear the mint leaves and add them to the pitcher, infusing the drink with their fresh, aromatic flavors.
3. Just before serving, add the sparkling water to the pitcher. Stir gently to retain the bubbles.
4. Fill tall glasses with ice cubes and pour the limoncello mixture over the ice.
5. Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a sprig of mint. Enjoy immediately, basking in the refreshing taste of summer!

Helpful Tips

• For a sweeter spritzer, adjust the amount of simple syrup to your preference.
• Chill all the ingredients in advance to ensure your drink is perfectly cold.
• You can prepare the mixture ahead of time but add the sparkling water just before serving to keep the drink fizzy.

Storage Instructions

If you have any leftovers, store the limoncello mixture (without sparkling water) in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add sparkling water just before serving to refresh the fizz.

Pairings and Complimentary Dishes

This Limoncello Mint Spritzer pairs beautifully with light appetizers such as bruschetta, fresh fruit platters, or a delicate caprese salad. For a more substantial pairing, consider grilled chicken or seafood dishes. A touch of sorbet as a dessert completes the perfect summer meal.
