Tips:

For the Raspberry Lime Sherbet, use fresh raspberries for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries that have been thawed.
To make the Watermelon Granita, use a ripe, juicy watermelon. The riper the watermelon, the sweeter the granita will be.
For both recipes, use filtered or spring water for the best results. Tap water may contain impurities that can affect the taste of the sherbet or granita.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make the Raspberry Lime Sherbet. Pour the sherbet mixture into a shallow dish and freeze for several hours, stirring every 30 minutes or so to break up the ice crystals.
To make the Watermelon Granita without a blender, simply scoop the watermelon flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork until it is slushy. Then, stir in the sugar and lime juice.

Conclusion:

These refreshing raspberry lime sherbet and watermelon granita recipes are perfect for a hot summer day. They are both easy to make and require just a few simple ingredients. So next time you're looking for a cool and delicious treat, give one of these recipes a try!
