Limoncello Spritz is a modern, fizzy twist on the traditional Italian digestif. This drink combines the sweetness of limoncello, the sweet lemon liqueur native to southern Italy, with the freshness of Prosecco and sparkling water.
The origins of limoncello date back to the early 19th century in Italy, but it's only recently that the Limoncello Spritz has begun to gain in popularity, taking its place as a popular summer cocktail in bars and terraces around the world.
Why is the Limoncello Spritz the trend of the summer?
Limoncello Spritz isn't just a drink; it's a sensory experience that captures the essence of summer. It's perfect for hot summer days thanks to its unique balance of sweetness and acidity, offering an explosion of freshness with every sip. Its distinctive taste and elegance make it a favourite for summer evenings, family gatherings or simply relaxing in the sun.
With its rise in popularity, it's destined to become a staple on cocktail menus this summer, offering a refreshing alternative to more traditional choices. Its rise as a summer trend is also supported by its visually appealing appearance, often garnished with lemon and mint slices, making it a popular choice on social media, where images of colourful cocktails abound.
It's the perfect refreshing cocktail !

2. The ideal cocktail glass for a Limoncello Spritz
The choice of glass is essential to maximise the pleasure of enjoying a Limoncello Spritz. A large cocktail glass, such as the Robusto 55cl, or a ‘balloon’ glass, such as the Mixology 46.5cl, are ideal, as they offer enough space for the cocktail's aromas to develop to the full, while allowing the ice and garnishes to be contained without compromising the volume of the drink.
These glasses also ensure that the Prosecco bubbles are well distributed, accentuating the cocktail's effervescence and light texture. What's more, an elegant glass contributes to the overall aesthetics of the presentation, enhancing the sensory experience of the Limoncello Spritz, making every sip even more enjoyable and festive.

By engraving the establishment's logo or a distinctive design on Limoncello Spritz glasses, bars and restaurants can not only reinforce their brand image but also create a memorable souvenir for customers.

Personalisation using screen or digital printing methods
Digital printing allows great flexibility in design, offering the possibility of printing complex and colourful images. This method is ideal for small quantities and visuals with a wide range of colours.
Screen printing is renowned for its durability, even after repeated washing. This technique is particularly well suited to large-scale orders, as it is more economical for large print runs. Screen printing is excellent for logos and simple graphic designs that use limited colours, making it a popular choice for establishments looking to project a strong, consistent brand image.
