Grapefruit-Mint Sorbet Tasty! No Ice Cream Maker Needed! image

This is one of the best refreshing tasty sorbets. Excellent when served between courses. NOTE: This is an adopted recipe and Wikipedia says: "Sorbet (or sorbetto, sorbeto) is a frozen dessert made from iced fruit puree and other ingredients. The term "sherbet" is derived from the Turkish word for "sorbet", serbat which in turn comes from Arabic. Sorbet is a form of gelato that contains no milk, unlike ice cream. Sorbets may contain alcohol (which lowers the freezing temperature, resulting in a softer sorbet). Unlike ice cream, the machinery used whips almost no air into the sorbet, resulting in a dense and extremely flavorful product. This allows sorbet to match and sometimes exceed dairy-based gelato or ice cream for taste" so I have put this into the ZWT REGION: Middle East.

I added some vodka to my sorbet and it turned into a delicious adult slushy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sorbet turned out icy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This sorbet is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had a little more sugar.

I'm not a big fan of grapefruit, but I really enjoyed this sorbet. The mint helps to balance out the tartness of the grapefruit.

This sorbet is a great way to use up leftover grapefruit. I always have a few extra grapefruit on hand, so this is a great way to use them up.

This grapefruit mint sorbet is a delightful treat! It's so refreshing and flavorful, and the mint adds a nice touch of brightness. I love that it doesn't require an ice cream maker, making it a great option for those who don't have one.
