Cocktail Colin says:
The Sgroppino blends the effervescence of champagne or prosecco with the creamy, tangy kick of lemon sorbet, enriched discreetly by vodka and a splash of cream, creating a symphony of light, refreshing, and smoothly alcoholic delight. This Italian concoction serves wonderfully as a palate cleanser or a chic dessert cocktail, offering a decadent yet breezy taste experience that captures the essence of Venetian elegance and summery zest.

FAQ's
What is the origin of the Sgroppino / Sorbetto cocktail?
The Sgroppino (or Sorbetto) cocktail originated in Italy, particularly in the Veneto region. It has a history dating back to the 16th century and was originally consumed as a palate cleanser between courses during a meal.
Can I substitute prosecco with another sparkling wine in the Sgroppino / Sorbetto?
Yes, you can substitute prosecco with another type of sparkling wine, such as Champagne or Cava. However, prosecco is traditionally used in this cocktail and offers a specific taste profile that complements the lemon sorbet.
Is the Sgroppino / Sorbetto cocktail suitable for vegans?
It largely depends on the ingredients used. The classic Sgroppino / Sorbetto cocktail contains cream, which is not vegan. However, a vegan version can easily be made by substituting the cream with a plant-based alternative. Ensure the sorbet is also vegan, as some sorbets may contain animal-derived ingredients.
How should I serve the Sgroppino / Sorbetto?
The Sgroppino / Sorbetto should be served in a chilled cocktail glass. It is best enjoyed immediately after preparation to appreciate the blend of cold lemon sorbet with the sparkling texture of prosecco and the smoothness of vodka and cream.
Can the alcohol content in the Sgroppino / Sorbetto be adjusted?
Yes, the alcohol content can be adjusted to suit personal preference. To make a lighter version, reduce the amount of vodka or opt for a lower-alcohol sparkling wine. To increase the alcohol content, simply add more vodka. However, it's essential to maintain a balance of flavors to preserve the characteristic taste of the cocktail.
