MARGARITA SORBET



Margarita Sorbet image

There are sorbets, and then there are sorbets with benefits. This sorbet, inspired by the classic cocktail, is one of those. Besides being delicious, refreshing, and easy to make, this gives you a low-key buzz, as there's just enough tequila to make you grin, but not enough to make you giggle.

Time 10h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup white sugar
4 medium limes, zested
3 cups cold water
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons triple sec
⅓ cup tequila
coarse-grain sea salt for rim of glass
lime wedges for garnish

Steps:

  • Pour sugar into a saucepan, add lime zest, and shake to combine. Let sit for at least 1 hour.
  • Add water to the pan and place over medium-high heat. Stir over the heat until the mixture is clear and very hot, but not quite simmering yet. Remove from heat and strain the lime syrup into a container. Let cool all the way to room temperature.
  • Stir in freshly squeezed lime juice, triple sec, and tequila. Refrigerate mixture until ice cold before transferring into your ice cream machine.
  • Churn sorbet according to machine directions, and then transfer into an airtight container. Freeze thoroughly before serving. Overnight is best.
  • Serve in a salt-rimmed glass, with a small wedge of lime if desired. More tequila can be drizzled over the top, depending on your mood.

I am posting this for the Zaar World Tour 2006. I have yet to make it but it sounded fun, kinda like a grown up version of the jello shot???!!! Cooking time includes chill time. The recipe calls for 1 envelope of Knox unflavored gelatin, and I wasn't sure what size it was so the .25 oz is my best guesstimate.
