Instructions: How to Prepare Your Perfect Sgroppino
You can make it quickly with a hand whisk for a light, rustic texture, or use a blender for a smoother and more airy foam.
Chill Your Glassware: Place champagne flutes, coupe glasses or wine glasses in the freezer for at least 10 minutes. This is key to keeping the Sgroppino at the ideal slushy texture.
Combine the Base: In a small bowl or blender, combine the lime sorbet and Alma Limoncello.
Blend to Perfection:
Blender Method: Blend on high speed for just a few seconds until smooth, creamy and foamy. Do not over-blend.
Add the Sparkle: Pour the mixture into your chilled glass. Top with the remaining cold Prosecco. The drink should have a light, frothy head.
Garnish & Serve: Finish with a fresh mint sprig or delicate lime zest.
Serve immediately as a refreshing and vibrant finale to your dinner.
This frozen dessert-cocktail is famous for its digestive properties and its wonderful ability to cleanse the palate after a rich meal, leaving you feeling light and revitalised.
