Lemons are the perfect summer treat. Although they are sour, when prepared right they can be very sweet. When paired with tequila they are perfection. This little “pick-me-up” is perfect for those hot summer days with family and friends.
Tequila Lemon Sorbet
Ingredients
Instructions
Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute or until sugar dissolves. Add the lemon zest when the mixture is still warm. Cool completely.
While the sugar mixture is cooling, cut off the top 1/3 of the lemon and reserve for the top for a “capâ€. Remove juice and flesh and put it in your juicer. Hollow out each lemon by using a grapefruit knife. Make a slight shallow cut on the bottom of each lemon shells to help them sit straight up when placed on a plate. Freeze or let sit until sorbet it made.
Combine the cooled sugar mixture, lemon juice, and tequila. Pour mixture into a freezer-safe container; freeze for 4 hours or until firm.
Spoon the sorbet into the hollowed out lemons and serve.
