When it comes to western cuisine and culture, Italy has always been the flagbearer. And I’ve just realized; since Prosecco is an Italian wine, the whole idea of this blog reigns because of Italy as well. Interesting, hmm.
An alcoholic cocktail, originating from Venice, Italy, Sgroppino is an excellent Italian Dessert Cocktail that comprises of lemon sorbet, vodka, and chilled sparkling wine. But wait, there’s more.
We’re calling it a Dessert Cocktail because it is normally served at the end of the dinner. It does its magic as a wonderful, refreshing sweet course!
It’s said that Sgroppino was first invented by an anonymous kitchen boy in Venice around the 16th century. Back then, only the wealthy households had the kitchen staff to make sorbet by hand so it feels like the doing of such a household.
This suspicious-looking, refreshing, minty, and no sweeter than a frozen margarita drink is imbibed-on throughout the year!
We suggest using Santa Margherita Prosecco in this recipe because it has a bright lemon aroma. You’re free to use any plain prosecco if you don’t have access to this one.
You can enjoy this drink by simply pouring the chilled ingredients into the flutes.
However, Sgroppino will give you the truest dessert pleasure only if you freeze it first. It won’t freeze completely due to the alcohol and rather give a slushy texture, building up more of a dessert vibe.
Moreover, a Sgroppino could be enjoyed with fruits like grapes, cherries, and raspberries. However, if you’re looking for more of a dry snacky thingy, serve the drink with a few small cookies.
