1 tablespoon vodka, preferably sweet tea vodka
1 tablespoon light corn syrup

To make the sorbet firm enough to scoop, transfer into an airtight container, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sorbet, and freeze until firm.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful fruit: The quality of your fruit will directly impact the flavor of your sorbet, so be sure to use the freshest, ripest fruit you can find.
  • Freeze your fruit before using it: Freezing the fruit helps to concentrate its flavor and make it easier to blend.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will help you to achieve a smooth and creamy sorbet.
  • Add sugar or other sweetener to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on the sweetness of your fruit. You can also use other sweeteners, such as honey or agave nectar.
  • Chill your sorbet before serving: Chilling the sorbet helps to firm it up and make it more refreshing.
