Ingredients
- zest of 2 limes about a tbsp
- 1/2 cup gin
- 3 cups light corn syrup
- 3 cups sparkling mineral water like San Pellegrino
- 2 cups freshly squeezed lime juice
- pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lime zest and the gin. Rough up the lime juice by smashing it with a spoon, or by whisking it. This step is basically muddling the zest.
- Combine the remaining ingredients and stir gently.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and churn according the manufacturer's instructions. After about 30 minutes, or once the sorbet has taken on a "wet snow" appearance, transfer it to a storage container. Allow to freeze for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
- Scoop into serving dishes and enjoy!
Notes
Due to the alcohol content in the sorbet, this recipe is not intended for people 21 years of age or younger.
To make a simple lime sorbet, just leave out the gin.
