What Ingredients do you need to make a Limoncello Spritz?
Prosecco
Prosecco is an Italian white wine that’s almost always made to be some level of sparkling.
By law it’s made from the Prosecco grape – aka the Glera grape – but up to 15% of the wine is permitted to be made up by other grape varieties.
For Prosecco, we recommend:
Soda Water
Soda Water is essentially water that contains dissolved carbon dioxide gas.
This can either be infused with the water artificially or occur naturally.

What Equipment do you need to make a Limoncello Spritz?
Wine Glasses
Wine Glasses are great for Wine, but even better for wine-based cocktails!
They’re classy, they look the part, and more importantly they’re big!
For Wine Glasses, we recommend:
Bar Spoon
Bar Spoons are great for cocktails you’re supposed to stir, rather than shake in a cocktail shaker.
Sure, you can probably use any spoon to stir your drink but these bar spoons are the real deal. It’s the proper equipment to get the job right.
- They’re long enough to get to the bottom of any cocktail to allow you to properly stir.
- They have a twist spiral design that allows for a better grip.
- They’re made out of stainless steel, so they’re durable, corrosion resistant, and easy to clean.
