Why This Recipe Works
If you enjoy the celebratory ritual of sharing limoncello after a lovely meal, you'll surely also enjoy the lemony liqueur in a bubbly anytime spritz. Since limoncello is fairly sweet, we use a little less of the liqueur than we would a more bitter aperitivo like Aperol, and we balance the flavors with a dash of citrus bitters.
