Steps:
- 1. Equally divide sorbet among 2 champagne flutes. If sorbet is too solid, stir it a bit with a cocktail muddler to thin it out a bit (so it releases more flavor).

- Sgroppino can be served as a refreshing cocktail or a light dessert.
- Garnish with a lemon twist or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special touch.

- Sgroppino is best enjoyed fresh, so don't make it too far in advance.
