What Makes It So Special?
The magic happens as the sorbet slowly melts into the sparkling wine, transforming the drink’s flavor and texture over time. At first sip, it’s crisp and bubbly. As it melts, it becomes fruitier and sweeter — almost like a sparkling float. It’s simple, sophisticated, and effortlessly impressive.
Ingredients
- 1 generous scoop fruit sorbet (raspberry, mango, or lemon)
- 4–6 ounces dry sparkling wine (Prosecco, Cava, or Champagne)
How to Make Martha Stewart’s Sorbet Spritzer
- Place a large scoop of sorbet into a chilled wine glass or coupe.
- Slowly pour dry sparkling wine over the sorbet.
- Serve right away while bubbly. The drink will gradually become sweeter as the sorbet melts.
