Icy drinks might seem like a modern invention, but today’s chilly concoction goes back hundreds of years to Venice! This updated version of a classic Sgroppino is a bright, tart Prosecco cocktail made with lemon sorbet and vodka whipped up until frothy. Whip up a batch to make as an elegant New Years Eve cocktail, alongside a holiday brunch spread, or even as a light and festive dessert.
Whisk. In a small mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the vodka and lemon sorbet until smooth but frothy.
Divide. Spoon into two wine coupe glasses and top with the Prosecco.
Garnish and serve. Top with a lemon peel if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Don’t wait too long to drink a Sgroppino, as the drink will naturally separate after a time. You can extend the life for a few minutes longer by serving in chilled glasses.
If you’d like to spruce up the drink even more, try garnishing with a candied orange or lemon peel.
