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)?

Jacob

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

Angela

Wondering if this can be adapted to be used in a slushi machine?

Martha

So easy and tasty, kept well. I had to leave before it was set and didn’t stir more than the first few times, worked just fine. Great way to use my over abundance of Meyer Lemons.
