Livio I absolutely adore the deep dives and demonstrations that you do on such a huge range of cocktails! I get so absorbed and I love learning so much! I absolutely love these fabulous videos!! I wanted to say again, "Thank you!!" 🙂
@@MasterYourGlass I sure do - bigtime!! Have a fabulous weekend Livio!! I bet it's beautiful and warm (hot?) right now in Las Vegas!! :-) I need sun and heat!! Lol!! Cheers!!
A beautiful drink.I first had it in Italy last year and it really impressed me.So much so that I recreated the recipe when I returned home.One thing I noticed is the alcohol seperating from the sorbet.Is there a trick to this as I don't remember that happening on my hols😁👍
Ok I am used to this lovely drink in Italy and yes in Provincia di Veneto. The recipe in this video is missing something. Namely, a very strong Grappa at least 60% proof is also added along with the vodka in the Venetion towns and villages. Sgroppino is one of the most alcoholic and nicest drinks that I have ever been served despite the dilution of lemon sorbet. The real thing should blow your socks off.
Thanks for your comment. As a bartender who made these in Italy for many years I am always up for experimentation. The Sgroppino was actually created as a low-alcohol palate-cleanser and therefore not intended to be so boozy but I am happy to try it with the grappa addition as it sounds lovely. Let me know if there is a grappa you recommend. Ciao!
@@MasterYourGlass In the villages near the dolomites, many of the families that I knew made Fragolino wine. Vino Fragolino . This is an under the counter naturally slightly sparkling red wine ( Can be white but that is very rare),and it is definitely not DOC. The next step is homemade Grappa which can be 90% proof. The burning of the Grappa on a spoon is sometimes a demonstration of the strength. It burns with a jet like blue flame. I am used to the area around Sacile and Vittorio Veneto and Conegliano where they make the Prosecco. The first time I had Sgroppino I felt my legs weaken, as whilst it tasted juvenile, it was a very adult drink. The taste was lovely but it had a tremendous kick. It was served in a small shot glass. I do not know the precise recipe and would suggest adding the best quality Grappa that you can find. For me Sgropinno is lemon sorbet with Grappa, Vodka and Prosecco. I did wonder if the lemon sorbet could be replaced with Creme di Limoncello. I am used to homemade Limoncello also made with Grappa. The recipe given in You Tube is for vegetarian's. My experience is that it should taste innocent and sweet but it should also have a powerful surprise that can only be described as kick that one remembers.
Thanks for your thoughts. As you know mixed drink recipes evolve; which means today’s sgroppino isn’t the same as the early ones but the legacy remains. There are a few viable options here. Perhaps still wine or another form of alcohol was used. It’s not the sparkling wine that is the key establishing flavor/texture of this drink, so it didn’t originally need to have it in order to create the roots of the drink. it’s the sorbet/gelato that is the key here. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge here anytime! You might want to check out some additional info on the history of sparkling wine. In my research It was first “documented” in the 1530s which means it was likely created way before that. Even if we stick with 1530s it’s perfectly feasible that these ingredients were mixed together Cheers to you and thanks again! Salute!
No bar tools? No problem! Make a Sgroppino!
Yes!!!
Perfect! 🎉

It you hand whisk it Versus blending it should not separate. Try it and let me know.
Love it
