The Light in the Piazza

Bright, citrus-forward and lightly sweet, this cocktail combines lemony vodka and limoncello with a fizzy lift from sparkling wine. It pours a pale straw color with a sugared rim and a thin lemon slice, making it an elegant, refreshing aperitif worth ordering for brunch or a warm evening. The balance of sweet limoncello and clean citron vodka keeps it lively rather than cloying.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Absolut® Citron Vodka
  • 1 oz Limoncello Liqueur
  • 1 tsp Caster Sugar
  • 1 dash Lemon Juice
  • 1 oz Sparkling White Wine

Instructions

  1. Combine the Absolut® Citron vodka, limoncello, and superfine sugar in a chilled cocktail shaker.

  3. Shake with ice until the mixture is very cold.
  4. Strain the mixture into a sugar-rimmed cocktail glass.
  5. Top off the drink with sparkling white wine.
  6. Garnish with a thin slice of lemon.
