Prosecco Lemon Slush
Similar to the Italian cocktail sgroppino, which calls for a scoop of lemon sorbet, this recipe instead freezes Prosecco and Meyer lemon juice for a fresher taste and a cooling dessert. The slushy concoction makes a refreshing finish to a meal, and, topped with raspberries (and more Prosecco, if you wish), it looks festive, sort of like pink lemonade for grown-ups. Best of all, it stays fresh-tasting for several days, and never freezes completely solid.

Ingredients
- 1cup chilled Prosecco, plus more to finish
- 1cup Meyer (or other) lemon juice
- 1teaspoon grated Meyer (or other) lemon zest
- ½cup granulated sugar
- Raspberries, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1
Stir together the Prosecco, lemon juice, lemon zest and sugar in a small, chilled stainless-steel mixing bowl until the sugar dissolves. Place the bowl in the freezer, stirring every 15 minutes or so, until the mixture is semifrozen and slushy, about 2 to 3 hours. It will not freeze to rock hard, even if left overnight.Step 2
To serve, divide mixture across four wine glasses or small bowls. Top with berries. For the ultimate slushy consistency, add 2 tablespoons cold Prosecco to each just before serving.
