Step Aside, Aperol—The Limoncello Spritz Is Our New Happy Hour Go-To
When the sun's out, there's nothing better than a spritz cocktail. Aperol is a classic choice, but this limoncello number transports me to Italy after just one sip. I kept this recipe really simple with just five ingredients (plus ice), and it takes less than five minutes to put together. Garnish with a slice of fresh lemon and some fresh basil for herby, Italian vibes, and you've got yourself the perfect summer cocktail.
