Mojito Sorbet image

A fresh-tasting mint-lime sorbet that reflects the flavors of a mojito. The optional rum in the recipe helps the sorbet not freeze too hard if being stored in the freezer. Delicious on its own, and also tasty mixed with rum for a frozen mojito.

Time 1h15m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
½ cup mint leaves, packed
¼ cup grated lime zest
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 ½ cups citrus-flavored sparkling water
2 tablespoons rum

Steps:

  • Heat the water, sugar, and mint leaves in a saucepan over medium heat, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes to extract the mint flavor. Set the mixture aside to cool, and strain out the mint leaves.
  • Pour the cooled mint mixture, lime zest, lime juice, sparkling water, and rum into a bowl and mix well. Pour into the container of an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serve immediately for a softer texture, or freeze in a sealed container for a harder sorbet. Let hard-frozen sorbet thaw a few minutes before serving.

Very minty and refreshing. I also added a tablespoon of rum for a boozy twist and it was divine!

Not bad, but I would prefer a less icy texture. I might try reducing the amount of water in the recipe next time.

This recipe failed on me twice, until I realized it's important to use a high-powered blender to get it right.

I've made this sorbet several times and it always turns out delicious. The mint flavor is refreshing and the lime juice makes it nice and tangy.

This mojito sorbet is incredibly easy to make but feels like a high-end dessert. It is a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and minty. Will definitely be a summer staple at our place.
