Day Two Hundred Ninety-Five: Sorbet and Champagne Cocktail

Before Christmas, a good friend and owner of Scoop Sorbet brought me a pint of grapefruit-basil sorbet.  It's an unexpectedly delicious combination and I couldn't resist using it to make Martha's Sorbet and Champagne Cocktail.

This recipe is simply champagne poured over a scoop of sorbet. It's a refreshing alternative to the usual and I really enjoyed the slushy texture.  I'd like to suggest my friend's amazing, small batch sorbet was solely responsible for the result, but this recipe would probably be almost as good with any nice sorbet.  Martha suggest raspberry or passion fruit. If you have some grapefruit-basil sorbet lying around, that would work as well.
