Bringing in summer with a boozy bite-- Tequila Lime Watermelon Sorbet made with fresh watermelon and a tequila lime simple syrup. No machine needed! -- SouthernFATTY.com
Serves: About 6 cups
Ingredients
Tequila Lime Syrup (good for cocktails, too!)
2 cup sugar
1 plus ½ cup water
1 cup tequila
½ cup triple sec
2 tablespoon lime zest
1 lime, juiced
Sorbet
4 cups watermelon, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
Tequila Lime Syrup
Over medium heat, combine all syrup ingredients except tequila and bring to a boil.
Cook until sugar is completely dissolved.
Add in tequila and remove from heat.
Cool completely and transfer to bottle.
Sorbet
Combine half of cooled syrup (to taste - reserve the rest for cocktails!), watermelon and additional lime juice/honey in blender.
Puree completely.
Strain mixture to remove seeds and pulp.
Freeze, mixing twice in the first 30 minutes well with a strong whisk.
Return to mix every 30 minutes until frozen to desired consistency, about 2 hours total.
The mixture stays frozen well, as the tequila prevents total freezing.
Enjoy!
