Difficulty

Easy

Sgroppino is quick to make. The key is to use well-chilled ingredients and achieve the right consistency: The sorbet should be creamy but not runny, and the Prosecco should be stirred in gently.

 

  1. Pre-chill glasses
    Chill the glasses before preparation so that the Sgroppino stays creamy and refreshing for as long as possible.
  2. Prepare lemon sorbet
    Allow the lemon sorbet to thaw briefly until it can be stirred into a creamy consistency. It should not melt completely.
  3. Stir in EXACT vodka
    Add the EXAKT Vodka to the lemon sorbet and stir carefully until a smooth, creamy mixture is formed.
  4. Add Prosecco
    Slowly add the well-chilled Prosecco and stir gently. Do not stir too vigorously to retain as much of the fine carbonation as possible.
  5. Fill into the glasses
    Pour the Sgroppino into the chilled glasses and serve immediately.
  6. Garnish
    Garnish with a little fresh lemon zest or a mint leaf.

 

EXAKT Tip: The sorbet and Prosecco should be well chilled. Let the lemon sorbet thaw just enough so that it can be stirred until creamy. Gently fold in the Prosecco only at the very end—this keeps the Sgroppino light, creamy, and delicately sparkling.

 

Here’s what it tastes like
Creamy, lemony, and refreshing: The lemon sorbet brings intense freshness and a subtle sweetness, the Prosecco adds a sparkling lightness, and EXAKT Vodka gives the Sgroppino a clean, dry finish.

Recipe story

Sgroppino – A Venetian Classic That’s Part Dessert, Part Cocktail

The Sgroppino has its roots in Veneto and is particularly closely associated with Venice. Traditionally, it was served as a refreshing intermezzo in multi-course meals to provide a refreshing transition between dishes. Today, it’s also enjoyed as a dessert or a light after-dinner drink. La Cucina Italiana

Even its name tells a piece of Venetian history: “Sgroppino” or “sgropìn” is associated with an expression for untying a knot. The name thus alludes to the drink’s traditional role within an extensive meal. Difford’s Guide

What makes the Sgroppino so special is that it’s part dessert, part drink. Creamy lemon sorbet meets sparkling Prosecco and clear vodka. The result is fresh, light, and pleasantly effervescent—ideal as a finishing touch to a Mediterranean dinner or as a refreshing treat on warm days.

With EXAKT Vodka, this Italian classic gets its own EXAKT twist: clear, uncomplicated, and a little different.
