Spritz, Please! – Episode 4: When you're in your olive era and can't stop with the spritzes

We’re keeping summer alive a teeeeny bit longer with this classic Limoncello Spritz (poured over a frozen blooming lemon flower), paired with a snack that’s so simple yet so ridiculously delicious: Fresh, creamy burrata, draped in prosciutto, and topped with green olives drenched in lemony garlic olive oil. This one will make you feel like you’re soaking up the sun on the Amalfi Coast, and it’s way too pretty not to serve at your next patio night!

Why This Pairing Works

• Lemon + Lemon: The lemon is real in this one! The lemony marinated olives play with the limoncello in the best way.

• Salty + Sweet: Prosciutto + olives balance the spritz’s sweetness, and vice versa!

• Italian Summer Vibes: Limoncello + burrata + prosciutto + olives. Name something more Italian.

Limoncello Spritz Recipe (With a Blooming Frozen Lemon Flower)

Ingredients

• 2 oz Limoncello

• 3 oz Prosecco

• 2 oz sparkling water (or tonic water to balance the sweet)

• Optional (but recommended):

  • Frozen blooming lemon flower

  • Fresh mint for garnish

  ---

Instructions

1. If you made a beautiful frozen lemon flower, place it in a wide-mouthed glass (I find a coupe glass works best). If not, just add ice to your wine/cocktail glass of choice.

2. Pour Limoncello overtop, followed by Prosecco and a splash of sparkling or tonic water. Garnish with mint, and enjoy!

HOT TIP: I like to use frozen fruit for my spritzes so that they stay cold without getting diluted by the ice cubes. If you’re using ice cubes, use large ice cubes to slow the melting, and add them to your spritz right before serving!
