Yield servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 C Sugar
2 C Water
5 sprigs of Mint
1/4 C freshly squeezed Lime Juice
1/8 C rum I use Bacardi
Zest of 2 limes
2 tablespoons fine julienned mint
1 TBSP Brown Sugar

Steps:

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water until the sugar dissolves. Add the mint sprigs; stir until mixture comes to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand approximately 10 minutes. Place a fine strainer over a large bowl and pour syrup mixture through (straining out the mint). Add lime juice, rum, and lime zest to the strained syrup mixture and stir to combine. Add Brown Sugar. Chill overnight or at least 4 hours. Process in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. NOTE: The vodka (or any other type of alcohol) is the secret to a soft sorbet. Alcohol itself does not freeze and adding a little bit keeps the sorbet from doing the same. Vodka is excellent to use because it doesn't affect the taste. Can Also Be a DRINK!!!: For Mojito Margarita: Add Tequila and stir until slushy For Mojito Daquiri: Add Rum and stir until slushy. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
