Bringing some cool, tangy, and refreshing greatness to an alcoholic blend, Asda’s sorbets are a key ingredient for those who want to recreate the Sorbet Spritz this summer.
Limoncello Spritz
The popular ‘Limoncello Spritz’ can be made into a frozen sorbet delight using Asda’s refreshing and silky-smooth Lemon Sorbet, full of zesty lemon juiciness and perfect for quenching a thirst on a hot day.
As seen on TikTok recipes*, customers can pick up everything they need from Asda to replicate this classic cocktail, including Asda’s Ice Club Crushed Ice (£1.30), Villa Cardea Limoncello (£12.50), Lemon Sorbet (£2.55) and Extra Special Prosecco Brut (£7.00), garnished with a fresh Lemon (30p). When creating three full frozen cocktails with a double shot of each alcoholic addition, the beverage will cost just £2.10 to make at home – an absolute bargain!
Frozen Mango Spritz
Asda’s “delicious” Mango Sorbet (£2.55) can be used to create a ‘Frozen Mango Spritz’.
For a bright & boozy slushy, customers can pick up Asda’s Ice Club Crushed Ice (£1.30), Frozen For Freshness Mango Chunks (£2.25), Asda Triple Distilled Vodka (£6.80) and Extra Special Prosecco Brut (£7.00) – finished with a splash of some Pure Orange Juice (£1.00) for an extra tang.
However shoppers choose to enjoy this treat, when adding the two new sorbets to Asda’s impressive frozen dessert lineup, Jemma Copley (Product Development Manager of Frozen at Asda) said; “We were looking to add fresh and vibrant flavours to the range. The two new lines are perfect for a hot day and are a lighter option for that post-BBQ dessert. They are simple recipes with great flavour impact, which we knew customers would reach for this summer”.
