Lemon Sorbet with Vodka

Fresh lemon sorbet topped with a splash of vodka is a light and refreshing treat that is a terrific addition to any meal.

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 Tbsp. premium vodka, plus more for serving

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 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.

Makes 6 servings.

Cook's Notes:  If you don't have 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 highly suggest using a premium vodka for this recipe. I typically use Titos or Grey Goose.
