Raspberry Rosé Sorbet Floats

Like this post? Share it with others!

This Raspberry Rosé Sorbet Float is my favorite two-ingredient dessert drink. A scoop of raspberry sorbet is topped with chilled sparkling rosé, then garnished with fresh raspberries and mint. If you love my Raspberry Lemonade Prosecco or my Cucumber Watermelon Sangria, this one is a must.

Moreover, it is part dessert, part cocktail and completely gorgeous. Equally important, it takes about three minutes.

In essence, it is effortless summer elegance. Serve it after dinner alongside my Mini Cheesecake Board.
