Whether you're hosting Christmas parties or enjoying a rooftop session, finding the ideal drink to complement the occasion can be a lot. That’s why the Sgroppino – a delicious, super fun cocktail thats not only refreshing but also has an element of interactivity is absolutely perfect.
What makes the Sgroppino so perfect for all occasions is its sheer simplicity. Comprising just a few key ingredients, it’s easy to whip up, allowing you to focus on entertaining guests rather than labouring over cocktails. The basic recipe typically involves combining a spirit or a liqueur, sorbet, and prosecco or sparkling wine. However, the beauty of the Sgroppino lies in its adaptability to various flavours, making it a versatile option for any flavour preference.
One of the most appealing aspects of the Sgroppino is the wide array of flavours that can be incorporated into the drink. From classic lemon or lime sorbet to more exotic choices like mango, passionfruit, or even mandarin, the possibilities are endless. This means you can even tailor the cocktail to suit the theme of their event or simply cater to the preferences of your guests.
For us, we love using Økar Bitter for its refreshing juiciness, plus the bitter element counteracts the sweetness of your sorbet.
