Ingredients
1cupsugar
1cupwater
1cupfresh lemon juice
2tablespoonspremium vodkaplus more for serving, if desired
Instructions
In a large jar, shake together the sugar and the water until the sugar has dissolved. Add the lemon juice and vodka. Stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and process until slushy and almost scoop-able. Transfer to an airtight container and place in the freezer until ready to serve.
To serve: Place one scoop in a small glass or bowl and pour 1 ounce of vodka over the sorbet. Garnish with mint.
Notes
To make this without an ice cream maker: Pour the mixture into a shallow pan and freeze until almost firm. Remove from the freezer and fluff with a fork. Return to the freezer until firm. Scoop the frozen mixture into a blender or food processor and process just until smooth. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until ready to serve.I suggest using a premium vodka for this recipe. I typically use Titos or Grey Goose to make this sorbet.
