- Gently pour 3 oz (90 ml) of prosecco followed by 1 oz (30 ml) soda water slowly to preserve bubbles.

Notes
Chill your glass and ingredients ahead to keep the cocktail crisp and bubbly. Pour prosecco slowly down the side of the glass to preserve bubbles. Adjust lemon juice to balance sweetness and tartness. Avoid over-stirring to maintain fizz. Mix lemoncello and lemon juice base in advance for parties, but add prosecco and soda water just before serving.
