Limoncello Prosecco Cocktail – Friday’s 5 o’clock Wet Your Whistle Call!

 
Whether it is Champagne from France, Prosecco from Italy, Sekt from Germany, Cava from Spain or my go to bubbly Sparkling Wines from California, I always feel like it is a party when the cork is popped and the bubbles tingle the tip of my nose. Most people wait for a reason to celebrate with champagne but if you start with champagne, life then turns into a party. Each day can have a reason to celebrate.

 
My girlfriend Nancy and I used to work in the restaurant business and had our days of during the week. We would often pop open a bottle of sparkling wine, sit face to face in the hallway of our apartment, with our backs against opposite walls, catching up with each other’s week over a glass or two of champagne. Her mother would ask us what we were celebrating and we’d say, “It’s Tuesday and we don’t have to work!” Some more famous people than ourselves had their own ideas about why champagne is the essential drink to celebrate life. Cheers!
 
Champagne

“My only regret in life is that I did not drink more Champagne.” – John Maynard Keynes
Limoncello Prosecco Cocktail
 
Prosecco is an Italian, dry sparkling wine that is crisp and clean with notes of citrus. Its zesty effervescence and transformative, yet subtle, flavor profile lends well to cocktails. As such, Prosecco cocktails are delightful social drinks and perfect “aperitivi.”
