Similar to the Italian cocktail sgroppino, which calls for a scoop of lemon sorbet, this recipe instead freezes Prosecco and Meyer lemon juice for a fresher taste and a cooling dessert. The slushy concoction makes a refreshing finish to a meal, and, topped with raspberries (and more Prosecco, if you wish), it looks festive, sort of like pink lemonade for grown-ups. Best of all, it stays fresh-tasting for several days, and never freezes completely solid.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Stir together the Prosecco, lemon juice, lemon zest and sugar in a small, chilled stainless-steel mixing bowl until the sugar dissolves. Place the bowl in the freezer, stirring every 15 minutes or so, until the mixture is semifrozen and slushy, about 2 to 3 hours. It will not freeze to rock hard, even if left overnight.

  2. Step 2

    To serve, divide mixture across four wine glasses or small bowls. Top with berries. For the ultimate slushy consistency, add 2 tablespoons cold Prosecco to each just before serving.

Made this in a gallon ziplock in the freezer and just squished it up every so often. 10/10! Perfect for a summer treat.

Cat Bergin

No notes. 10/10.

Has anyone tried making this with an ice cream maker (the kind with the chamber you put in the freezer before using)?

Gorgeous! No Meyer Lemons in our country. Topped up with a touch more prosecco. Loved the raspberry garnish - may experiment with blending these in next time.

I substituted the prosecco for Schweppes tonic and I've got to say, it was definitely a 10 out of 10 experience
