Champagne and Lemon Sorbet from Weight Watchers image

A bright burst of lemon and the slightly fizzy taste of champagne make a wonderful taste duet in this refreshing sorbet. Serve it between courses to cleanse the palate or as a dessert. It keeps very well in the freezer for up to two months.Source: Unknown
