Cool down in style with a gin and tonic Sorbet that combines the crispness of gin with the citrusy zing of tonic water.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup tonic water
- 1/2 cup gin
- Zest of 1 lime
- Juice of 2 limes
Directions
In a saucepan, combine water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine the simple syrup, tonic water, gin, lime zest, and lime juice. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Place the mixture in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours or until it's cold.
Pour the chilled sorbet mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn the sorbet until it reaches a slushy, frozen consistency.
Transfer the churned sorbet into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Allow the Gin and Tonic Sorbet to freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to reach a firm, scoopable texture.
Scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones. For an extra touch, garnish with a twist of lime or a small splash of additional gin before serving.
Enjoy the crisp, botanical notes of the gin and the effervescence of tonic water in this delightful sorbet. It's a grown-up twist on a classic frozen treat.
