Steps:
- Coarsely crush the ice cubes, then fill 4 tall skinny drink glasses halfway full with the ice.
- Add 1/4 cup mint leaves to each glass and, using a muddle stick or the handle of a wooden spoon, crush the mint leaves together with the ice (this is called "muddling").
- Add 1/2 cup limoncello to each glass, and stir.
- Add 1/4 cup of club soda to the top of each drink, and serve.
- Note: on the show, Giada made her own limoncello from limes rather than from lemon, vodka, and simple syrup, with a week or marinating; if you can find a lime-based limoncello in the store, wonderful (we've only made it ourselves at home) - but otherwise you can use conventional limoncello.
- Also, you could quarter a lime and put each quarter on the edge of the glasses, so that guests could add a squeeze of lime juice into their spritzer.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lemons and mint will give your spritzer the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic ingredients.
- Make a simple syrup: A simple syrup is a mixture of equal parts sugar and water that is heated until the sugar dissolves. This is a great way to add sweetness to your spritzer without using artificial sweeteners.
- Use sparkling water: Sparkling water will give your spritzer a refreshing, fizzy口感. You can use plain sparkling water or flavored sparkling water, such as lemon-lime soda.
- Add a garnish: A garnish can add a pop of color and flavor to your spritzer. Some popular garnishes include lemon slices, mint leaves, and cucumber slices.
- Serve immediately: Lemon-mint spritzers are best served immediately after they are made. The ice will melt and dilute the flavor of the spritzer if you let it sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Lemon-mint spritzers are a refreshing and delicious drink that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy a delicious and healthy spritzer that will help you beat the heat and stay hydrated.
