Notes
Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest flavor—bottled juice can dull the drink. Adjust the simple syrup to taste for more or less sweetness. Want it lighter? Use less limoncello and more soda water. For a bigger citrus punch, add more lemon juice or zest. Serve right away to keep it crisp and bubbly.
