Limoncello: I had drunk it often as a digestivo, an after-dinner drink said to aid in digestion. I don’t know how much the limoncello actually did for my digestion, but I certainly felt happier after drinking it. It was lemony, sweet, cloudy, and even though it's meant to be sipped, it can go down a bit too quickly. While it’s now quite easy to find limoncello in the States (I even saw it for sale at a rural gas station), I wanted to make my own.

Made from lemon sorbet, Prosecco, and limoncello, sgroppino is frothy, puckery-sweet, and a little bit naughty.
