  • It takes five minutes flat, making it perfect for unexpected guests or when you want something special without the fuss.
  • You get that sophisticated aperitif feeling—you know, the kind that makes an ordinary Tuesday feel like a celebration.
  • It's naturally vegan and gluten-free, so everyone at your table can enjoy it without checking labels.

  • If your limoncello syrup tastes artificial or chemical, swap it for a homemade simple syrup mixed with fresh lemon juice—it changes everything and costs almost nothing.
  • The ratio of sparkling water to syrup is flexible depending on your glass size and how strong you like your flavor; trust your palate and adjust as you go.
03 -
  • Double your batch by preparing the syrup and juice mixture ahead of time in a measuring jug, then assemble drinks in seconds by pouring over ice and topping with sparkling water.
  • Keep lemon slices pre-cut and floating in a small bowl of ice water, so they stay fresh and don't oxidize if you're making drinks throughout an afternoon.
