1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar, depending on the sweetness of your oranges
2 cups orange juice, freshly squeezed preferred
1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed or partially thawed
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon vanilla extract, optional
1 1/2 cups milk, whole milk preferred
3 tablespoons Cointreau, Triple Sec, or brandy, optional; for "scoopability"

Steps:

Combine everything except the liquor in a bowl, beating until smooth. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until it's very cold, overnight if possible. Make sure the canister for your ice cream maker is in the freezer, too; at least 24 hours is preferable. Pour the base into your ice cream maker canister, and freeze according to manufacturer's directions. Trasfer the sherbet from the canister to a freezer-safe container. If desired, stir in the liquor of your choice; this will keep the sherbet from becoming rock-hard in the freezer. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours. If you haven't used liquor to keep it soft, remove the sherbet from the freezer about 15 to 20 minutes before you want to serve it, to soften.
