  2. Pour the base into an empty tubpint. It stays well below the max fill line, which leaves room for what you add before spinning. Put the lid on and freeze on a level shelf for 24 hours.
  3. Pour 90 ml prosecco90 ml prosecco¼ cup + 2 tbsp prosecco135 ml prosecco140 ml prosecco½ cup + 1 tbsp prosecco into a wide bowl and whisk for 2–3 minutes, until it stops fizzing, so it cannot foam over in the machine.

My notes

Tips

  • For an alcohol-free spritz, use a non-alcoholic bitter aperitif in place of the aperitif and cold water in place of the prosecco, then top each glass with a splash of sparkling water.
  • Any dry sparkling wine works, or a dry white wine, since the bubbles are whisked out anyway.
  • For a more bitter spritz, use 2 tbsp less orange juice in the base and add 2 tbsp more aperitif at the end.

Why it works

Orange juice with a little extra sugar lands near 16% sugar, so it freezes into fine, soft ice. The aperitif and prosecco go in at the end, where their alcohol loosens it into a slush without stopping it from freezing.
