Lemon Raspberry Sorbet Prosecco Floats.
Spiked floats all around!
We’ve got embarrassingly easy (!!!) boozy little floats right here for Oscars night! Pair it with a crunchy snack and you are SET.
Every year I want to host a big, fun Oscars party and every year… I don’t do it. So I’m doing it virtually and begging you to make a prosecco sorbet cocktail on Sunday night with me. Waaahoo. Internet generation unite.
Here’s a little secret: I don’t love raspberry things. I don’t love raspberry flavored things. I like fresh raspberries but they are not my number one choice in fruit. If I’m being REAL here, I mostly chose raspberry sorbet because the color is pink pink pink.
HOWEVER.
You witnessed my transformation years ago to being quite “meh” about lemon desserts and now I omgLOVE lemon desserts, so it’s very possible that might happen here. The lemon + raspberry sorbet combo is divine. It is seriously fantastic and flavorful.
And p.s. I like to use a prosecco on the drier side because the sorbet is freaking sweet. You need something with a bit of a bite to balance out the flavor. And you know I’ve got some sweet teeth!
Now what I really want to know is are you more excited for the movies or for the fashion at the Academy Awards? I’m a little bit of both, I suppose.
But I’m absolutely saddened by the fact that I have not yet seen La La Land. In fact, I haven’t seen any movie in a theater since I had Max (with the exception of Sing that we took him to see over Christmas!) and the last time I was at the movies? When I was pregnant and saw Gone Girl with my cousin Lacy!
Even though I actually like to go to the movies, whenever I have free time these days, there are SO many other things I want to do besides go sit in a dark theater without internet access for three hours. You know? I’m looking at you shoe shopping/napping/trashy magazine reading/Target bingeing.
Before we had Max, Eddie and I would occasionally get in the routine of going to a movie mid-week, which was such a treat because we obsessively consider all weeknights to be “school nights,” almost never do anything really FUN on these nights and go to bed at a normal (well, okay, not I) hour.
We didn’t do it every week, but it was lovely when we did. I totally want to bring that back!
Other movies I’m dying to see are Hidden Figures, Jackie and Arrival. I will admit though that ever since having a kid, I only want to see mostly fluffy comedies because otherwise I’m ridden with anxiety over the sadness or scariness of the film. I.am.a.child.
So I guess what really matters aside from boozy floats: who will be the best dressed?! But really.

This reminds me so much of the drinks my parents used to serve at all our holiday parties. I will be making them for sure! So pretty
beautiful presentation!
I SEE YOU channeling spring…. anddd I like it.
Mmm..prosecco is not ” my thing ” , but this is so amazing… seems I have to try :)
I’m the same way. I *want* to see non-comedies, but it turns out funny ones are all I can handle. I never got why everyone was so obsessed with “requiem for a dream” in college.
This looks divine! About the mid-week movie thing… unless it’s summer (or “vacation week” at school) I’ve never gone to a movie during the week. That would involve a baby sitter, and homework never gets done in my house if there’s a baby sitter… just saying..
Omigosh! These floats look amazing and just perfect for spring/summer. I can’t wait until it gets warmer so I can serve these!
I will party with you on Sunday night with one of these!! soooo pretty, so delish and SO Oscar worthy!!!
This is seriously the most genius idea haha! Sorbet is delicious. Alcohol is delicious. Put them together and you get perfection!
omg I love these, how perfect for Oscar’s night! I LOVED Hidden Figures and really enjoyed La La Land. I really wanted to see Arrival, but missed it in theaters. I love going to the movies during the week! :)
These look so pretty!! I, too, am rather ambivalent about raspberries – however pairing them with another fruit makes them better. You need to try raspberry and pineapple!! The combination is crazy good
Can I just say “same!” on the movies? Sometimes I even have to change commercials because they are too sad for me.
These look amazing!

I am exactly the same way since having my son! Pretty sure it’s a hormonal/mom thing. Sucks I have to miss out on some movies/series because of it but oh well… so it’s definitely all about the dresses for me! And an excuse to have a fancy drink ?
aye! can’t wait for summer to try these!!
Yumm…Oh my goodness its look fantastic. I will definitely try this recipes for my children . Thanks for share this amazing recipes.
These look fantastic! La La Land was terrific. I saw it twice which, I never do in the theatre. My husband was sure he wouldn’t like it and, he loved it. We just saw Hidden Figures midweek. So fun, to go to the movies on a Wednesdsy. I’m.lucky to live just two blocks from Brooklyn Academy Of Music. Film and theatre at our doorstep!
Oh my goodness its look fantastic
