Add Moscato, blend, and voila: a Moscato drink that was delicious even to me, a Moscato hater. Since that first go-round, I have tweaked my recipe slightly-I did have a double bottle, after all. I turned to my freezer and pulled out some lime juice, raspberries that were a little past their peak, and frozen mangoes. But that gave me a solid basis to work with to make my own version of a Moscato smoothie of sorts. Moscato is supposed to be crisp and lightly fizzy with notes of peach and apricot-I can't taste it, particularly, but I'm sure that's true for some palates. Italians drink it as an aperitif because it’s sweet, light, and low in alcohol content. But because I am both thrifty and unwilling to turn down the gift, I found myself with a bottle of moscato and a mission: to incorporate the sweet wine into some kind of delicious new formula, through a frozen moscato cocktail.Moscato is a dessert wine made with Muscat grapes from the northern Italian region of Piedmont. I know that the sweet wine is a favorite for some people (like Drake), but for me, moscato just means a sugar hangover almost immediately. I'm not a big fan of moscato in general, and usually I lean towards red wine, if I'm going to drink wine. When it comes to gifts, I truly believe that, no matter what it is, it’s the thought that counts… even if you are gifted a double bottle of cheap moscato.
