ETA - just did a bit of a deep dive using Italian sites and resources. I’m more confused than before about why a notable “Amaro” would be compared to a non bitters drink such as Limoncello. Oh well, de gustibus non est disputandum.
the only reason I have mentioned this is that both looks to be offered as options to make “alternative” spritz, and for both I would say “stick to the Aperol or to improve it, maybe Campari…
The Limoncello Spritz has been marketed as a trendy option by a pizza Chain, and customers in London looks to be expecting as a standard, but thank God some proper establishment won’t bend to those requests (I was in my favourite pizzeria months ago when a girl asked for a Limoncello spritz and the waiter told her that they wouldn’t do that but only the “proper” one 😏
