You read that right folks, just when you thought it couldn’t get any better than an Aperol Spritz, we’ve made the perfect adult sorbet for you to try! This recipe is quite simple to execute, as long as you have a blender and an ice cream maker. Even then, I’ve found a ton of people get creative without an ice cream maker to get this boozy treat done.
I kept the concept of this recipe very simple. But the thing is, you have a ton of flexibility with this recipe. Want to use Lemon Juice instead of orange? Sure thing, but note that lemon is quite tart, and you won’t be needing the same volume. In addition, want to add some fresh mint or basil to the mix? Blend it when you combine the orange zest and sugar. Want to use more than just strawberries? Split the base with rhubarb or apples. The only thing with the rhubarb is that I would actually break it down by heating it in a saucepan with the sugar, with the strawberry and then allow it to cool before creating your ice cream. Add a touch of water too.
Want to use Campari instead for a more bitter sorbet? That sounds perfect too. You’ll just have to increase the sugar slightly to achieve the right balance.
