Instructions
- Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.

Notes
The drink works best with chilled ingredients. Store limoncello in the freezer for an extra cold cocktail.
A standard ratio is 1 part limoncello to 2-3 parts sparkling water. Adjust this ratio to taste.
Plain sparkling water works great, but lemon-flavored sparkling water adds extra citrus notes.
The cocktail can be made in larger batches for parties. Mix limoncello and sparkling water just before serving to maintain carbonation
