This frozen spritz combines tart limoncello, bubbly prosecco, and fresh basil into a slushy, pale-gold drink perfect for warm afternoons. Blending the prosecco with ice gives it a frosty, slushy texture without diluting the citrus brightness, while torn basil leaves add a subtle herbal note. Serve it in chilled glasses as a lively aperitif or warm-weather happy hour sipper.

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces limoncello
  • 3 ounces prosecco, chilled
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 4 fresh basil leaves, torn, plus 1 small sprig for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 lemon slice, for garnish

Method

  1. Add the limoncello, lemon juice, torn basil leaves, and ice cubes to a blender.

  2. Pour in the prosecco and pulse several times until the mixture is slushy and uniformly frosty, about 20 to 30 seconds. Avoid over-blending, which can melt the ice and thin the texture.

  3. Pour the frozen spritz into a chilled wine glass or coupe.

  4. Garnish with a lemon slice and a small basil sprig, then serve immediately while frosty.
