Cucumber, Mint and Gin Sorbet with Lime

Sorbets are dairy-free, generally made with fruit and sugar. This refreshing version is like a cocktail, made with puréed cucumber, fresh mint, gin and lime—perfect for patio season.

peeled and cut into chunks Small handful fresh mint ¼ cup (2 shots) good- quality gin Juice of one lime

In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, heat sugar and water until sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear. Pour syrup into a glass or other container (to speed up the cooling process) and refrigerat­e until well chilled.

Put cucumber, mint and gin in the bowl of a food processor. Add syrup and lime juice and pulse until as well blended as you can get it. Scrape into bowl of an ice cream machine and freeze according to manufactur­er’s directions. (Alternativ­ely, pour into a large loaf pan and freeze, stirring every hour or so until frozen.) Makes about ‚ cups.
