Recipe: Sgroppino al Limone

Sgroppino al Limone (Frothy Lemon Sorbetto)

Refreshing-perfect for summer! Originally from Venice, Italy but my first taste of this tasty concotion was at the G Spot in Amsterdam. A waiter brought one to another table..it looked so good we asked what it was and ordered two. Soon, sgroppino's were appearing on tables all around us! A tart, fresh tasting lemon gelato or ice cream is essential. I tried Haagan Dazs..but it just wasn't the same.

  • 2 cups (16 oz) of lemon gelato, softened
  • 2 tablespoons vodka
  • 1/3 cup Prosecco or sparkling wine, chilled
  • Zest of one lemon

Blend the lemon gelato, vodka and Prosecco.

Pour mixture into a pitcher and serve immediately. Sprinkle lemon zest on top. Serve with small spoons. Serves 4 in chilled champagne flutes.

Note: Mixture will separate if left standing.
