- 1 cup simple syrup
- 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon freshly chopped mint
- 1 tablespoon vodka
Margarita lime sorbet
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest, green part only
- 3/4-cup fresh lime juice
- 1-1/2 cups simple syrup
- 1 teaspoon tequila
- 1 teaspoon orange liquor
Peaches sorbet
- 8 medium peaches - peeled, pitted and pureed until smooth until very smooth
- 1 cup simple syrup
- 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon peach brandy
Directions:
1. Prepare simple syrup. Measure 4 cups sugar and 4 cups of water into a sauce pan and heat over low heat until clear, and then boil for a minute or so. Let the sugar syrup cool completely.
2. Prepare watermelon mixture. Cut watermelon and scoop out fruit, removing any seeds. Use a whisk to reduce the melon fruit into a puree with some small chunks. Combine watermelon, simple syrup, lemon juice, mint and vodka in a large metal mixing bowl. Refrigerate mixture until thoroughly chilled.
3. Prepare lime mixture. Squeeze limes and grate zest. Combine lime zest and juice, simple syrup, tequila and orange liquor in a medium metal mixing bowl. Refrigerate mixture until thoroughly chilled.
4. Prepare peach mixture. Blanch and peel peaches. Combine peaches, simple syrup, lemon juice and peach brandy in a large metal mixing bowl. Refrigerate mixture until thoroughly chilled.
5. Pour chilled mixture into freezing chamber of sorbet machine and churn until frozen. Transfer frozen sorbet into a container and place in freezer for at least an hour to further harden. (If you do not have a sorbet machine, pour mixture into a flat container and place directly in freezer. When the sorbet is frozen, scrap with a bench scraper to loosen). Scoop sorbet into bowls and garnish with mint and cookies.
