Two scoops of sorbet make the Lavender Sgroppino perfect for triple-digit weather on the poolside patio of Park MGM’s Primrose. The aromatics of the garnish and color of the syrup offer enough hints of lavender to impart some distinctive character, without straying too far from the classic on which it’s based.

Ingredients

■ ½ ounce Absolut Elyx

■ ¼ ounce creme de violette

■ ½ ounce lavender syrup

■ 2 scoops lemon sorbet

■ Prosecco

Garnish

■ Lavender sprig

■ Miniature clothespin (optional)

Directions

Combine first three ingredients. Shake with ice. Strain into champagne flute over two scoops of sorbet. Top with prosecco. Garnish with lavender sprig (using clothespin).

By Dana Miranda, CEPF® ThePennyHoarder.com

To answer this common question, we have to shift the way we understand tipping. The reason we tip is not to offer a thank-you or a reward to service workers for an outstanding or even sufficient job.
