Ingredients

  • 1 pint lemon sorbet (I like Häagen-Dazs Zesty Lemon because it's not too sweet)
  • 1 bottle chilled prosecco
  • 2 tablespoons chilled vodka (I keep mine in the freezer anyway)
  • 1 lemon, cut into cute little slices
  • 1 large measuring cup
  • wine glasses

Preparation

Step 1

Before you start, pop your wine glasses into the freezer for few minutes. You want them nice and frosty.

Step 2

While those are chilling, get your sorbet out so it has time to defrost slightly.

Step 3

When you think it has been long enough (five minutes or so), scoop the entire hunk of lemon sorbet into your measuring cup.

Step 4

Pour in your vodka.

Step 5

Open up your prosecco and pour in a generous couple of splashes.

Step 6

Next, squidge (technical term) your sorbet into the liquid until you get something thick, smooth, and swirly.
Make sure there are no lumps left and pour in some more!

Step 7

Now you want to mix much less vigorously so that you don't lose the airiness from the prosecco's carbonation.

Step 8

Gently fold in your prosecco, taking care not to lose too many bubbles. And there's nothing wrong with adding a little more as you see fit!

Step 9

Fold until you get something that is smooth, airy, glossy, not quite liquid, and not quite solid. Sort of like a fluffy, sparkly slushy.
