Sgroppino is an Italian dessert cocktail made generally from lemon sorbetto and Prosecco, with many variations. The first time I had Sgroppino was in Venice. It was delicious and the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Since then, I've had it with added vodka and also Limoncello. It was curious, because I didn't realize this was a specialty in the Venice area and was surprised not to find it as we traveled further south. (Now I'm agonizing--is this a drink or a dessert? Oh, well. It's a very nice, refreshing way to end the meal!)
