❔ FAQs
Ice cream is typically dairy based and has a creamier texture. Sorbet is made with pureed fruit and usually doesn't contain any dairy.
A white wine is typically the best option for this kind of cocktail. You could also use a sparkling wine like prosecco for some extra bubbles.
Moscato is a sweet, light-bodied white wine made from Muscat grapes. It's known for its, floral aroma and fruity sweetness with flavors of peach, orange blossom, and honey. Most moscato has a slight effervescence, making it refreshing and easy to drink. It's particularly popular as a dessert wine or aperitif.
Kristin's Kitchen Tip
I've found that ¾ wine and ¼ soda makes for the best raspberry spritz, but feel free to adjust the proportions to your liking!
📝 Substitutions and Variations
- Another flavor of sorbet can be used instead of raspberry. Strawberry, mango, peach, or lemon sorbet works great in this recipe!
- Prosecco or rosé are great options if you want some extra bubbles and a more subtle sweetness.
- If you want this extra boozy, add a splash of raspberry liqueur.
- Make this non-alcoholic with sparkling white grape juice instead of wine.
