Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.25 cup Orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Tequila (optional but recommended)
• 1 tablespoon Triple sec (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved completely to form a simple syrup, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 2

Once the simple syrup has cooled, stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice, orange juice, lime zest, tequila, and triple sec (if using). Mix well to combine.

Step 3

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until the sorbet has a soft, frozen consistency.

Step 4

If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish. Place it in the freezer and stir with a fork every 30 minutes to break up any ice crystals until the entire mixture is frozen, about 2-3 hours.

Step 5

Once the sorbet is frozen, scoop it into serving bowls or glasses. Optionally, you can sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top or rim the serving glasses with salt for a classic margarita flair.

Step 6

Serve immediately and enjoy your tangy and refreshing Margarita Sorbet!
