In Italy, sorbetto is served as a dessert but it is wonderful on a beautiful summer afternoon served as a cool flavorful drink. It can be made with many different kinds of liquor and sorbet. I first had this in Milan and in traveling around Italy, found it in many other restaurants. This is a light dessert drink that is wonderful after a meal of heavy flavors or fish.

Sorbetto Al Limone

Recipe Summary Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

1 cup lemon sorbet (homemade or store bought)

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 short glass Vodka

1 slice lemon

Whip the cream to light peaks. Put the sorbet in a blender with the Vodka. Blend and remove to a bowl. Hand mix the whipped cream and sorbet mixture until it is smooth, but foamy and pour into a burgundy wine glass. Place a slice of lemon on the edge of the glass, and just before drinking it squeeze the lemon over the top.

NOTE: Use complementing liquor with a fruit sorbet. This can be done with other fruits such as pears sorbet with Père Williams, green apple sorbet with Calvados, or strawberry sorbet with Fraises.

You are right there are many recipes for sorbetto thanks for point this out. But I have had this DRINK in restaurants from the North to the South of Italy and on every menu it was called "sorbetto". I have also discussed the recipe with people in Italy as well. But thanks Thanks for telling me about the typo (I changed it).
