A citrusy twist on a classic cocktail. A glass of sparkling champagne paired with a splash of both vodka and tart Limoncello, finished off with a small scoop of bright lemon sorbet and a sprinkling of fresh mint. A perfectly refreshing way to enjoy cocktail hour. If you are a fan of the classic champagne cocktail, this lemony Italian version is sure to impress.

Sounds great! Will definitely try this.
I love the addition of the tart lemon sorbet to the top of this drink; it melts into the champagne concoction and makes it a tad bit sweet. I bet this would be good with a sugared rim on the champagne glass as well!
