Whoever decided to combine sorbet and a spritz is an absolute genius. Sgroppino is a traditional digestif from Venice which combines lemon sorbet with vodka and prosecco; sort of an alcoholic slushy. It is the perfectly light sweet ending at the end of a summer meal. It is also an excellent palate cleanser so can be served after a meal as dessert, during a long meal between a fish and meat course or before dinner. The name itself means to dissolve the knot in your stomach. Sgroppino is super simple to make and a nice refreshing treat when hosting friends. For a stronger drink, substitute the prosecco with more limoncello.
