As far as crowd-pleasing, easy-to-throw-together cocktails go, this probably takes the cake. There are only two ingredients needed, and no shaking, stirring or garnishing required: it’s kind of a show-stopper all on its own. Toss a scoop of sorbet in a pretty coupe, top with Prosecco and you have the Sorbecco.
You can use really any flavor you love, and even experiment with sherberts that add a little extra sweetness and a creaminess to boot. I love Talenti sorbets, but I’m always also on the lookout for great local brands. And that’s it! Serve immediately with a casual hair flip and an “Oh-this? Just a little something I threw together…”
Sorbecco
makes 1 cocktail; build each individually
- 1 scoop of sorbet, any flavor you like
- Prosecco or Champagne of your choice; I prefer a dry variety as the sorbet adds plenty of sweetness
Assembly
Scoop sorbet into coupe glass; top with Prosecco and enjoy!
Barware notes: The coupes are thrifted from Ohmega Salvage. The raspberry dishtowel is from IKEA. The ice cream scoop is actually a cookie dough scoop, which you can find at most homewares shops.
I had this year’s ago at Citizen Cake in SF — they called it a bobsled. It’s been a brunch staple of ours ever since — so easy and delicious!
