Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 lemon slice
- 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
- 2 oz (60 ml) Limoncello
- 3 oz (90 ml) Prosecco
- 1 oz (30 ml) soda water
- Ice cubes
Garnish
- Strawberry slice and lemon wheel, for garnish
- Fresh basil or mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Muddle the Fruit: In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh strawberries, lemon slice, and granulated sugar. Mash them together thoroughly until the strawberries and lemon slices are broken down and the sugar dissolves, releasing their juices and flavors.
- Add Limoncello and Shake: Pour 2 oz of Limoncello into the shaker with the muddled mixture. Seal the shaker and shake well to combine all the ingredients evenly and chill the mixture slightly.
- Strain Over Ice: Strain the muddled and shaken mixture into a serving glass filled with ice cubes to keep the drink cold and smooth.
- Add Prosecco and Soda Water: Slowly pour 3 oz of Prosecco over the strained mixture, followed by 1 oz of soda water. Gently stir the drink once to blend all the flavors without losing the bubbles.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the cocktail with a strawberry slice and a lemon wheel on the rim of the glass. Optionally, add a few fresh basil or mint leaves on top for an aromatic touch. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing cocktail.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Adjust the amount of sugar according to your sweetness preference.
- Prosecco can be substituted with any dry sparkling wine.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace Limoncello and Prosecco with lemon-flavored soda or sparkling water.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the bubbles and fresh flavors at their peak.
