Description: A frothy, semi-frozen Italian dessert cocktail blending lemon sorbet with prosecco and a touch of vodka.
Cultural Background: A traditional northern Italian dessert drink (particularly the Veneto region), often served between courses of a meal to cleanse the palate.
Tips: Work quickly once the sorbet starts to melt — the drink is best served while still cold and slightly frothy.
Variations: Try other sorbet flavors (raspberry, mandarin) for a colorful variation on the classic lemon.
Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately, ideally between courses as a traditional Italian palate cleanser.

FAQs:
Q: Is this a cocktail or a dessert?
