Grapefruit–Champagne Sorbet Recipe
I especially like to serve this as a refreshing finale to a Mexican menu. Try garnishing with a sprig of mint and a couple of fresh grapefruit segments.
Ingredients
| 2 | cups | freshly squeezed ruby red grapefruit juice* |
| 1 1/2 | cups | Simple Syrup |
| 1 | cup | chilled champagne** |
Directions
1. Pour the juice through a mesh strainer set over a medium mixing bowl. Check for pulp and strain again if necessary.
2. Add the simple syrup, mix well, and refrigerate for 4–6 hours to ripen the mixture.
3. Remove from the refrigerator and add the chilled champagne. It’s important that all ingredients be very cold.
4. Process the grapefruit-champagne mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Spoon the finished sorbet into a container, cover it, and place in the freezer for 4–6 hours or overnight to harden.
6. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving.
Preparation Time:
15 minutes plus 9–12 hours downtime.
