Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces amaretto
  • 1 ounce lemon juice
  • 3 ounces prosecco (dry or brut)
  • 1 ounce soda water (seltzer or club soda)
  • Cocktail cherries for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a large wine glass filled with ice, add the amaretto and lemon juice.
  • Top with the prosecco and soda water. 
  • Garnish with cocktail cherries, if desired.

Notes

Pitcher measurements for 8 servings:
  • 2 cups Amaretto
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) prosecco (dry or brut)
  • 1 cup soda water (about ⅔ standard can)
  • Cocktail cherries for garnish (optional)
To make in advance:
  • Mix the Italicus and lemon juice ahead and refrigerate up to one day in advance, then top with chilled prosecco and soda water when you’re ready to serve. This ensures the spritz remains bubbly and fresh.
Tips:
  • To add more complex flavors, try adding a few dashes of bitters.
  • If you want a sweeter cocktail, add a little bit of sugar syrup, cocktail cherry juice, or fresh orange juice.
  • To add some zestier sweetness, swap the soda water for lemon-lime soda.
