Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of lemon sorbet
- 1 cup of Prosecco (chilled)
- 1/2 cup of vodka (chilled)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Optional: additional lemon zest for garnish
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Ensure you have lemon sorbet, chilled Prosecco, chilled vodka, fresh mint leaves, and any optional garnishes ready.
- Chill Your Ingredients: Chill the Prosecco and vodka in the fridge for a couple of hours or in the freezer for about 15 minutes for a quick chill.
- Scoop the Sorbet: Scoop out 1 cup of lemon sorbet using a sturdy ice cream scoop. If too hard, let it soften at room temperature for a few minutes.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the lemon sorbet, chilled vodka, and half of the chilled Prosecco. Blend on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add the Remaining Prosecco: Gently fold in the remaining Prosecco to maintain the bubbly texture. Use a spatula or pulse the blender a couple of times to mix.
- Prepare Your Glasses: Chill your serving glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes for an elegant touch.
- Pour the Mixture: Carefully pour the Sgroppino mixture into the prepared glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Garnish with Mint: Slap fresh mint leaves between your hands to release their aroma and place them on top of each drink.
- Optional Lemon Zest: Sprinkle lemon zest on top for added aroma and a vibrant touch.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the Sgroppino right after preparation for the best experience.
- Sip and Savor: Appreciate the colors and aromas before sipping. Enjoy the balance of sweet lemon sorbet, crisp Prosecco, and vodka.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try different sorbet flavors like raspberry or strawberry for a unique twist.
Notes
- Use high-quality Prosecco and lemon sorbet for the best flavor. Homemade sorbet can elevate the drink.
- Add simple syrup for a sweeter drink or adjust the sorbet amount to taste.
- For a non-alcoholic version, blend lemon sorbet with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.
- If you have leftovers, store them in the freezer for a later treat.
