Traditionally, a Sgroppino is an Italian palate cleanser, though it’s equally as suitable served as a cocktail or dessert. Whatever time of day you choose to make this boozy, lemony combination, you’ll want to drink it quickly once it’s in front of you. The slushy, lightly fizzy texture comes from a combination of sorbet, vodka and Prosecco — but, if you have another dry, light sparkling wine, that works well, too.

We thought this was really yummy. It helped us celebrate Spring! I was concerned that having it as a cocktail would be too much with sorbet in it (seems like a dessert), but we found ourselves making a second glass of it before we sat down to dinner. A keeper!!

This was like a fancy gimlet. Great right before a seafood dinner, especially a buttery scallopini…
