Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup chilled champagne brut style

Method
 

  1. Add raspberries, sugar, and water to a saucepan.
  2. Cook on medium heat for about 8 minutes, stirring gently, until berries break down and sugar dissolves.
  3. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. Blend the mixture until smooth.
  5. Strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds.
  6. Stir in lemon juice.
  7. Chill the mixture completely in the refrigerator.
  8. Slowly stir in the chilled champagne.
  9. Pour into a shallow freezer-safe container.
  10. Freeze for 30 minutes, then stir well.
  11. Repeat stirring every 30 minutes for about 3 hours, until smooth and scoopable.

Notes

  • Use brut champagne for best balance. Sweet champagne can make the sorbet too sugary.
  • Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, replace champagne with sparkling white grape juice.
  • This sorbet also works great as a base for champagne floats or mimosas.
