Steps:
- 1. Equally divide sorbet among 2 champagne flutes. If sorbet is too solid, stir it a bit with a cocktail muddler to thin it out a bit (so it releases more flavor).
- 2. Divide vodka (or lemoncello) among the 2 flutes.

- Use a high-quality sparkling wine or Prosecco. This will add a nice effervescence to the drink.
- Don't over-blend the sgroppino. You want it to be slushy, not icy.
- Serve the sgroppino immediately. It's best enjoyed fresh.
