Ingredients

  • ¾ pound frozen strawberries
  • ¾ pound frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1.125 cups water (1 cup + 2 tablespoons)
  • .9375 cup granulated sugar  (¾ cup + 3 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons vodka optional

Instructions

  • In a high powered blender or food processor, add your frozen berries. Set aside for berries to defrost at room temperature.
  • In a medium saucepan, add water and sugar. Heat over high heat and stir or whisk occasionally until sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside and allow to cool (45 minutes - 1 hour.
  • Add cooled simple syrup to the blender. Blend until completely smooth. (30 seconds at low speed, 30 seconds at medium speed and 1 -2 minutes at high speed)
  • Strain liquid using a fine mesh strainer (to remove the seeds) into a large bowl. Use the back of a spoon to help liquid pass through. Add vodka to the mixture and whisk until combined.
  • Follow the instructions included with your ice cream maker and churn sorbet. 
  • Pour sorbet into your ice cream container and freeze for 6-8 hours to overnight. Before serving, let it sit out at room temperature for about 5 minutes, scoop and enjoy!

Notes

A little bit of alcohol goes a long way! - Because alcohol doesn't freeze, just adding a tablespoon (or two) to our sorbet base means our sorbet doesn't freeze solid and makes it perfect for scooping.
Use for a boozy brunch cocktail - Scoop the sorbet into champagne flutes or coups and top it with Prosecco or champagne for a special brunch treat!
