You’ve probably seen it everywhere. Sliding across your feed and being guzzled at every party during the silly season. We’re talking about Zoncello , the breakout star of last year’s “lemonaissance” , a trend that’s seen lemon-flavoured booze float to the top of the drinks zeitgeist.

While Zonzo didn’t invent the limoncello spritz, the Yarra Valley winery smartly capitalised on the popularity of Aussie-made limoncello in 2023 by bottling a mix of prosecco and its own liqueur. Almost two years on, the limoncello spritz genre is getting juiced hard. Here’s to the best of the rest. Cin cin!

Versa Limoncello Spritz

$45
Versa Limoncello Spritz
Versa cans are a solid option for outdoor adventures. Why? Because the team puts everything in the tin (limoncello, prosecco and soda), all you need to do is pour it into a glass. Or not – this slab of stout cans is ready for your lips as long as the contents are chilled.

Manly Spirits Zesty Limoncello Spritz

$45
Manly Spirit Zesty Limoncello Spritz
This distillery on Sydney’s northern beaches adds distillates from local lemon aspen and lemon myrtle to its limoncello, giving it a zesty, tart lemon-meringue kick. The lone addition of soda technically makes this spritz a seltzer. Great in the park, even better by the pool.

ABV: 4 per cent | Pack size: 4 | Shipping: From $5

Sapori d'Amalfi Limocello Spritz

$45
Sapori d'Amalfi Limocello Spritz
Direct from Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, Sapori d’Amalfi’s golden aperitivo combines a family-recipe limoncello with local prosecco to create a zesty summer drop. Load your glass with ice, a lemon wedge and pour as is.

De Bortoli Limoncello Spritz

$45

Even the big dogs are getting in on the action. Established in 1928, De Bortoli is one of Australia’s oldest (and biggest) family-run wineries. Three generations of Italian wine-making knowledge are in every bottle of this prosecco-based spritz.

ABV: 9 per cent | Pack size: 750ml | Shipping: From $5

Solbevi Limoncello Spritz

$45
Solbevi Limoncello Spritz
The Melbourne brand uses a generations-old family recipe for its limoncello spritz. And though it has a white spirit base (as opposed to sparkling wine), it’s still less than one standard drink per serve. There’s already soda in this one, too.

ABV: 13 per cent | Pack size: 24 | Shipping: From $5

Polka De-Alc Limoncello Spritz

$45
Polka De-Alc Limoncello Spritz
No booze? No worries. South Australian non-alc wine brand Polka is a staple on restaurant menus around the country for good reason. Lemon peel, juniper, pink grapefruit and wild-harvested lilly pilly are the bouquet for this zingy take on the genre.

ABV: 0 per cent | Pack size: 750ml | Shipping: From $5

Unico Cello Spritz

$45
Unico Cello Spritz
For its signature limoncello, the Adelaide Hills fave uses two types of (ugly) lemons from what’s said to be South Australia’s oldest citrus plantation at Lennane Orchards, Montacute Valley. Now, that liquid is getting the spritz treatment. Don’t sleep on it.

ABV: 8 per cent | Pack size: 750ml | Shipping: From $5

Dal Zotto Pucino Spritz

$45
Dal Zotto Pucino Spritz
The Dal Zotto family pioneered Italian fizz in Australia, planting one of the country’s first commercial-scale prosecco vineyards in the King Valley in 1999. They added house-made limoncello to their signature prosecco, and pow – Pucino was born.

ABV: 8 per cent | Pack size: 750ml | Shipping: From $5

Zoncello Spritz

$45
Zoncello Spritz
Possibly the best Aussie limoncello spritz? If you’re new here, Zoncello combines prosecco with liqueur made to recipe perfected over a 30 years. It’s so popular, bottle shops reportedly can’t keep up with demand. At this rate, the Zonzo team will be flying that branded hot air balloon in no time.

ABV: 9 per cent | Pack size: 750ml | Shipping: From $5
