MARGARITA SORBET
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.

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.

SALTED PEANUT CRISPS
This is from the Betty Crocker Cookie Cookbook that my mom used until it fell apart. She made these often and now I'm carrying on the tradition. The recipe states it makes 6 dozen but I always get 4 dozen. Guess my cookies are bigger than they're supposed to be!

MARGARITA SORBET
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.

MARGARITA SORBET WITH SALTED PEANUT CRISPS
Steps:
- To make the sorbet, in a medium saucepan, bring the water, 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar, and lime zest to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl and let cool completely. Stir in the lime juice, tequila, and orange-flavored liqueur. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
- Freeze in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- To make the cookies, position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, grind the peanuts with the flour until the peanuts are in small but discernable pieces-not too fine.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a bowl by hand), beat together the butter, 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar, and the brown sugar on medium speed until just combined, about 30 seconds. Beat in the egg.
- In a small bowl, mix together the boiling water and baking soda and then mix it into the butter mixture. Add the peanut-flour mixture and stir just until combined.
- Place heaping teaspoons of the batter in mounds at least 2 1/2 inches (6 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheets. (You should be able to fit 8 per sheet.) Rap the pan a few times on the counter to flatten the mounds slightly, then sprinkle each with a very generous pinch of sea salt.
- Bake, rotating the baking sheets midway during baking, until the cookies are evenly deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely, then use a thin metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack. Repeat to bake the remaining batter.
- To serve, offer a few scoops of margarita sorbet with a few peanut crisps alongside.
- Storage
- The cookie batter can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 1 month. The crisps can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in an airtight container.
- tip
- Make sure the lime zest is grated very finely so that its texture is barely noticeable in the sorbet. A rasp-style grater does the trick nicely, but if you don't own one, mince the zest with a chef's knife.
