CAMPARI AND PASSIONFRUIT SORBET
Steps:
- Place the water and sugar in a pan, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a while. Halve the passion fruits and scoop out the flesh, seeds and juice using a spoon. Stir this up--you can pass it through a sieve to remove the seeds, but quite frankly I think that's palaver (nonsense). I like the seeds. Mix the passion fruit with the Campari and sugar syrup in a plastic tub or earthenware dish and place in the freezer. Generally, sorbet takes 2 hours to set. Try to stir it around every 1/2 hour if you remember. Serve on its own, with some seasonal fruit, or in a cone with some vanilla ice cream.;
Tips:
- For a classic affogato, use a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream. For a refreshing twist, try lemon sorbet.
- Use a good quality Campari. A bitter Italian liqueur, Campari is the key ingredient in this cocktail. Look for a brand that is deep red in color and has a slightly bitter taste.
- If you don't have lemon sorbet, you can use another citrus sorbet, such as orange or grapefruit. You can also use a scoop of vanilla ice cream or gelato.
- Garnish your affogato with a lemon twist or a sprinkle of lemon zest. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your drink.
- Serve your affogato immediately. The sorbet or ice cream will start to melt if you wait too long.
Conclusion:
The Campari affogato with lemon sorbet is a delightful and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a unique and delicious drink, give this affogato a try.
