Limoncello Cocktails ~ Perfect Any Time of Year!

A gorgeous, delicious cocktail. Oh so easy to prepare.  (Yes, you can make them in advance!)  You and you're guests will adore!  

This is a great recipe.  We had a great time.  I know you'll enjoy them too!  

 

Limoncello Cocktail Recipe (4 - 6 Servings)

• 1/3 cup Water
• 1/3 cup Sugar + 1 tsp. Sugar, separated (*Update- if you're sugar-free like I am now, sub coconut sugar)
• 1 750 ml bottle Prosecco (*Update- if you want to make this virgin, sub lemon kombucha)
• 4 tbsp. Limoncello  (*Update- to make virgin, sub lemon kombucha as noted above)
• 8 oz. Fresh Blueberries (or substitute another berry or fruit currently in season)
• 3 or 4 slices of thinly sliced Lemon

1. Pour 1/3 cup water onto a small plate or saucer just larger in size than the circumference of your cocktail glasses.  Pour 1/3 cup Sugar onto another plate of exactly the same size.  Dip rims of each cocktail glass into water filled saucer, then into sugar filled saucer, coating rims evenly.  Set aside.  The sugar will harden, crystalizing beautifully onto the rims after about 15 minutes or so!(This makes refills work beautifully since the rims will remain sugar coated for that second pour!)
2. Meanwhile, pour the Prosecco into a glass pitcher, add 4 tbsp. of Limoncello and a 1 tsp. Sugar (use more or less to taste depending on tartness of your Limoncello). Mix well to disolve the sugar.
3. Regfrigerate for an hour or so.  Just before serving add 3 or 4 thin slices of lemon to the pitcher. 
4. Place 8 or 9 blueberries into each sugar rimmed glass. When your guests arrive, pour the Limoncello mixture into the glasses and enjoy!
