Easy to Make and Delicious Gin and Tonic Sorbet Dessert
All of the classic gin and tonic cocktail flavor you love with that lemony lime zip, but frozen as a dessert! The Gin and Tonic Sorbet recipe. Easy to make and refreshingly tasty!
Ingredients
- 12 ounces granulated sugar
- 12 ounces water
- 12 ounces tonic water
- 2 ounces gin
- Zest and juice 1 lime
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 egg white
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, place the sugar and water and bring to a boil, cook for about 5 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside and allow to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled sugar syrup, tonic water, gin, and the zest and juice of the citrus.
- Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, whip the egg white until soft peaks form, about 5 - 8 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped egg white into the sorbet mixture until just blended.
- If using an ice cream maker, pour in the sorbet mixture and freeze according to manufacturers' directions, about 40 - 60 minutes. If using the no-churn method, pour into a container, such as a loaf pan, covering with plastic wrap, and freeze for about 2 hours, stirring up the mixture every 30 - 45 minutes to break up ice crystals with a fork.
- Transfer the sorbet into a freezer-proof container, seal, and freeze for at least an additional 4 hours or more until ready to serve.
- Garnish with lemon and lime slices if desired.
Notes
Gin and Tonic Sorbet can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Since using alcohol, it will take longer to freeze.
In this particular recipe, there is no cooking after the alcohol is added, so there will be a small amount of alcohol remaining.
