Pink, bubbly and lightly bitter, this frosty drink works equally well as a palate cleanser, dessert or hot afternoon cocktail. While this recipe was created with sparkling rosé in mind, feel free to use another dry sparkling wine: Prosecco, cava, crémant or pétillant naturel. A Lambrusco di Sorbara (the lightest in color and higher in acidity of the Lambruscos) makes an excellent swap as well.

This is nice and refreshing but we hardly tasted the amaro nonino--suggest bumping up the quantity of that and reducing the sorbet by a bit. Less sorbet will help reduce the sweetness if you're using a brand that's on the sweeter side--we used Talenti and thought the drink was a tad sugary. Great for summertime day drinking.

I didn't have strawberry sorbet, but I did have frozen strawberries and strawberry preserves so I made my own. I mixed 5 ounces of frozen strawberries, 1 tablespoon of strawberry preserves, and 1/2 ounce of Amaro Nonino in a mini blender. I added four ice cubes once the frozen strawberries were pureed and mixed again to get a thicker blend. Really tasty and refreshing. Adding an ounce or two of gin or white rum would bump up the alcohol content making it like a frozen daiquiri.

We subbed in a local amaro and used prosecco because that's what we had on hand. We had to tweak the recipe a bit (less amaro & more sorbet) but loved that it was easy to do so. This was a tasty easy summer cocktail to whip up and it reminds me of sorbet punch my mom used to make for parties.
