Have a cold, bubbly and refreshing treat when you indulge in the Prosecco Sorbet cocktail.
Sometimes the simplest things are often the best. And tonight’s drink, while it may sound a little involved, is one of the tastiest and easiest tipples you can make for yourself. The Prosecco Sorbet cocktail is just as its name suggests, a combination of the frozen, fruity dessert and an Italian sparkling wine.
And the prep involved is almost non-existent, but that’s a slight exaggeration, of course. You still have to pop the cork on your bubbly and spoon a few scoops of the icy and tasty treat into a glass, then pour. And that’s it. No, really. I know it tastes absolutely divine while the effervescence tickles your nose, and has an air about it that feels elevated, but like I said before, sometimes the best things are the simple things.
This is the perfect concoction to imbibe at a garden party, or on a warm, spring day playing croquet with your seersucker-clad neighbors. If you’ve enjoyed some canapés earlier, the Prosecco Sorbet cocktail is a great sipper to enjoy before dinner, as the icy and dairy-free sorbet is a fantastic palate cleanser.
And the most alluring part of this recipe? It really is as easy to make as it is to sip on.
What is the best prosecco to use in a Prosecco Sorbet cocktail?
When choosing a bottle of fizz to mix any cocktail with, it is best to go with something that isn’t too sweet. You want the flavors of the sorbet to shine, and the perfect prosecco will help lend some balance to each drink you have. A dry and crisp Ruffino or a Mionetto Brut are both excellent choices that pair well with any fruity flavor sorbet that tickles your fancy.

What other flavors of sorbet can be used in this recipe?
Any flavor you like, prefer, or enjoy. Our recipe mixes lemon and blood orange for a bright and tart citrus zing.
