LIMONCELLO SESAME SPRITZ
Raise a glass to the Amalfi Coast with our Limoncello Sesame Spritz. A twist on the classic limoncello, this spritz combines fresh lemon juice, club soda, limoncello, and La Marca Prosecco with the sweet and savory complexity of toasted sesame simple syrup. Though traditionally served as a post-dinner digestif, the bright, citrusy notes of La Marca Prosecco make this limoncello spritz an inviting cocktail at any hour.
Ingredients
• 4 oz of La Marca Prosecco
• 1½ oz limoncello
• ½ oz toasted sesame simple syrup
• ½ oz lemon juice
• Pinch of lemon zest
• 4 oz club soda
• Garnish with a lemon twist
Instructions
To make the Limoncello Spritz, combine the limoncello, toasted sesame simple syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of lemon zest in a glass and stir gently to mix. Fill the glass with ice, then top with club soda and La Marca Prosecco, giving it a light stir. Garnish with a lemon twist before serving.
To make toasted sesame simple syrup, gently toast ¼ cup sesame seeds in a small pot over low heat, shaking frequently until fragrant and lightly golden, then remove from heat. Add ½ cup sugar and ½ cup water, return to low-medium heat, and stir until the sugar dissolves. Reduce to low and simmer for 3–5 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool completely. Strain out the seeds and store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
