This recipe is from The Greenbrier Hotel in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.
This is a wonderful not-too-sweet sorbet that derives its "kick" from the champagne and the tangy-sweet citrus flavor from the pink grapefruit.
Light and refreshing to the palate, the sorbet is a delicious elegant finale to any meal.
