How to make a sun-kissed Pallini Spritz cocktail

One of the best uses of popular liqueur Limoncello

Pallini Spritz ingredients.
Mark Stock / The Manual

Spring is here, prime time for dusting off camping gear, pausing to smell the flowers, and Limoncello. The iconic liqueur, a staple in Italian cocktail culture, goes great in a good Spritz recipe. Need proof?

We got our hands on a tasty recipe that could not be much easier to make. All you need is the liqueur, some Prosecco (or other sparkling wine), and soda water like San Pellegrino. Bonus points for some citrus as a garnish.

For those who don’t know, Limoncello hails from the Amalfi coast. The lemon liqueur is radiant and great just with tonic or as an accent to a number of cocktails. We like it in everything from a Mule to a Tom Collins.

Alas, the masses are obsessed with spritzes. The lower-ABV cocktail is popular all over the globe, well beyond just coastal Italy. Riffs on the drink are showing up all over the place, from award-winning bars to popular television shows.

We sought one out that sums up the invigorating spring season. It’s bright and sweet and full of appeal. And you don’t even need any special equipment to make it.

Get out the ice and ready your favorite glass. This drink will certainly win you over. Read on for the full recipe.

The best beers to pair with your summer yard games
Anderson Valley

When it comes to leisure activities during the summer months, it’s difficult to beat the appeal of a round of yard games. What could be more fun on a hot, sunny day than besting your friends and siblings in an epic backyard brawl? I can’t think of anything.

I’m talking about games like croquet, lawn darts, bocce, ladder ball, cornhole, and more. The only thing that makes the experience better is having a frosty, refreshing beer firmly in one of your hands. But just like how you don’t enjoy every yard game, not just any beer will do.
