Cocktail Corner: Champagne Float

Bubbly and sorbet can actually team up to create an instant classic. Not to mention the combination is a great almost-guilt-free indulgence. If you have your own ice cream maker at home (or if you just want to snag some Breyer's at your local supermarket) try mixing up the below concoction on a hot summer's day:

Champagne Float
  • Korbel Champagne (or other sparkling wine)
  • 1.5 spoonfuls of Lemon Sorbet
  • 1 Tsp. Lime Syrup
  • Diced strawberries or blueberries (optional)
  • Fresh Mint
Preparation:
Add champagne, syrup and sorbet into a small bowl. Use an immersion blender to infuse all of the flavors. Pour into champagne flute and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint. Optional - drop in a few diced strawberries or blueberries to the bottom of an empty champagne flute. to add color to your presentation.
