Agosto Sgroppino
The Sgroppino hails from the Veneto and is traditionally made with lemon sorbet, prosecco, and grappa or vodka; some recipes call for limoncello. In looking at this template, I saw the potential to impart deeper flavors of red fruit, while still creating something that’s absolutely perfect for summer.
INGREDIENTS
⅓ cup raspberry sorbet, plus 1 small scoop
¼ oz. lemon juice
¾ oz. Cynar
2 oz. Lambrusco
Lemon zest, for garnish
ABV LEVEL
Combine ⅓ cup sorbet, lemon juice, Cynar, and Lambrusco in a blender. Blend for 8-10 seconds. In a coupe, place a small scoop of sorbet. Pour blended mixture over the sorbet. Garnish with freshly grated lemon zest. Serve with a small spoon if desired.
