A few weeks ago, I stopped this local restaurant to try their Limoncello Sorbetto. Oh, by “local” I mean a quick, 3-min walk from my apt.
Basically, the Limoncello Sorbetto is tequila and limoncello (of course) infused with lemon sorbet that is placed into a hollowed-out lemon. Although I liked this dessert cocktail, going forward, I’m going to substitute gin for the tequila.
A couple of weeks later, I went back to try the orange version of this frozen cocktail.
This version is pretty much a negroni infused with orange sorbet. Comparing the two, I think that I’ll lean toward the lemon version because it was less syrupy than the orange version.
Since we have to order food with cocktails in NYC, I had a delicious octopus appetizer with my orange negroni sorbet. Technically, wouldn’t the sorbet count as food?
