Lemon Raspberry Sorbet Prosecco Float Recipe for Summer Entertaining
Spiked floats all around!
These boozy prosecco sorbet floats are embarrassingly easy to make and perfect for Oscars night. Pair one with a crunchy snack and you’re ready to settle in.
Every year I daydream about hosting a big Oscars party and every year it doesn’t happen, so this time I’m going virtual. Make a prosecco sorbet cocktail on Sunday night and toast with me—virtual party vibes for the win.
Full disclosure: I’m not obsessed with raspberry things, though I do enjoy fresh raspberries. The main reason I went with raspberry sorbet here was that brilliant, bright pink color. But paired with lemon sorbet, it’s a real winner.
Also, I used a drier prosecco to balance the sweetness of the sorbet. The sorbet itself is quite sweet, so a crisp, slightly dry sparkling wine helps cut through and keep the flavors balanced.
Now, are you more excited about the movies or the fashion at the Academy Awards? I’m a bit of both. I’m sad I still haven’t seen La La Land—truthfully, I haven’t been to a theater since having Max, except for a kids’ movie we took him to over Christmas.
These days, when I have a spare moment, I’d rather do all sorts of other things than sit in a dark theater for three hours: shoe shopping, napping, flipping through trashy magazines, or a Target run. But I used to love sneaking out mid-week for a movie with Eddie. It felt like a little treat during the week, and I’d love to get back to that habit.
Other films I want to see include Hidden Figures, Jackie and Arrival. Since becoming a parent, I admit I gravitate toward lighter comedies—heavy dramas or intense films make me anxious these days.
But back to the important question for Oscars night: who will be best dressed? That, and of course whether you’ll be sipping a float while you watch.
