Tasty Tuesday (on Wednesday): Champagne Cocktail with Mint and Lemon Sorbet

Photo and recipe courtesy of Fresh365online

New Orleans is definitely showing signs of spring this week.  Just last night, I came home to see that the daffodils we had planted are blooming!!  I just love this time of year.  It's perfect for porch sitting and cocktail sipping.  There is nothing better on a warm spring night than a cool and refreshing drink.  This jazzed up beverage sounds too good to be true!  It's like a mojito met New Year's Eve.  I cannot wait to try it this weekend!!

Champagne Cocktails with Mint & Lemon Sorbet

2 t fresh mint leaves, muddled or finely chopped
2 large scoops lemon sorbet
1/3 c vodka

  6. This sounds delicious. All we did at this time of year last year was sit on the porch uptown drinking wine with a newborn Thatcher in his rock n play. Swoon - I miss those days! Now it's porch time once he's in bed - ha!
