Here's an update -- after a second round using 2 of the little water ice cups, we decided that we liked it better with more vodka/gin and more bubbly stuff because it was less sweet. We're essentially whiskey people and not much on sweet. Our opinion on the third round will have to wait until after our nap. But I think we'll lean toward more liquor and less of the sweet component.
Okay, so it's really hot today and we are in our zillionth day of self-imposed lockdown because we're too old and unhealthy to take chances. But we don't have all these things . . . just made it with Luigi's lemon water ice, cheap vodka, and cheap California brut sparkling wine. We did cut some mint from the garden. Delicious! Don't be afraid to substitute. Someday we'd love to try it as it's written here, of course.
It's recipes like these that make me feel like Mark Bittman is my friend. I didn't add the Prosecco, or the mint. It's good just with the gin and lemon sorbet.

This is the classic Sgroppino with gin instead of vodka. Very good, and served Italy for many years
