Time 10m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pint raspberry sorbet
1/4 cup vodka, chilled in the freezer
1 (750 ml) bottle Prosecco, chilled
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened

Steps:

  • Place the raspberry sorbet and vodka in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on low speed for 30 seconds, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Spoon the sorbet mixture into 3 low cocktail glasses and, while beating with a fork, add enough Prosecco to each glass so the sorbet is still creamy but not thick. Add one small scoop of ice cream to each glass and top with another splash of Prosecco. (The sgroppino should be the texture of a light slushy. The ice cream will melt into the raspberry slush.) Serve immediately with a small spoon.

Tips:

  • Chill Your Ingredients: Make sure your Prosecco, vodka, and lemon sorbet are well-chilled before making the Sgroppino. This will help create a refreshing and slushy cocktail.
  • Use Fresh Lemon Sorbet: For the best flavor, use homemade or high-quality store-bought lemon sorbet. Avoid using sherbet or ice cream, as they will not give you the same texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter Sgroppino, you can add a tablespoon or two of simple syrup to taste. You can also use a sweeter variety of lemon sorbet.
  • Garnish with Lemon Zest: For an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal, garnish your Sgroppino with a twist of lemon zest. This will also help release the citrus oils, enhancing the flavor of the cocktail.
  • Serve Immediately: Sgroppino is best enjoyed immediately after it is made. As it sits, the sorbet will start to melt, diluting the cocktail. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Sgroppino is a classic Italian cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is light, refreshing, and easy to make.
