Things You'll Need:
- Fruit

- Lemon juice
- Sugar, honey or agave nectar
- Ice cream maker or freezer
-
Step 1
Choose your fruit or even blend more than one kind of fruit to make sorbet with a delicious burst of flavor. As a general rule, it is best to use juicy, pulpy fruit, such as watermelon, mango or strawberries; however, you can add a splash of orange juice or even throw in banana for extra cream. Blend your selected fruits well in a blender.
-
Step 2
Add the secret ingredients for perfect sorbet. For every 2 or 3 cups of blended fruit, add 1 Tbsp. of vodka and 2 Tbsp. of lemon juice. If you are serving sorbet to children or cannot consume even these small amounts of vodka, simply replace with lemon juice; however, know that you will not be able to taste or feel the effects of vodka in your finished product.

Step 3
Blend sugar into the mix; however, add just a spoonful at a time, tasting until you reach your desired level of sweetness. As an alternative to sugar, you can use honey or even agave nectar.
-
Step 4
Place your mixed sorbet in an ice cream maker to freeze for the creamiest results. If you do not have an ice cream maker, simply place your sorbet in the freezer for a few hours; however, sorbet will be a bit harder in texture but just as delicious if frozen in the freezer.
