Big kid, little kid sorbet

 

I love summer's bounty of fruit and herbs. This sorbet is inspired by both. In addition to an ice cream maker, here's what you'll need:

Sorbet

• 3-4 oranges, juiced
• 4 limes, juiced
• 1-2 melons, seeded, peeled, and sliced in chunks
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1-2 tablespoons fresh mint
• 1-2 tablespoons fresh basil
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• Optional: 1/2 cup blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries

Place everything in a blender or food processor and puree.

Then pour into an ice cream maker for the needed amount of time for it to transform into sorbet.

For big kids, add 1/4 cup gin, tequila, or vodka to a highball glass and stir for a slushy summer cocktail.
