In a medium saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, and freshly grated ginger. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Once the ginger syrup has cooled, strain it into a large mixing bowl to remove any ginger solids.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice, lime juice, lemon zest, lime zest, and champagne. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the churned sorbet into an airtight container. Cover the surface with plastic wrap or parchment paper before sealing the lid to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze the sorbet for an additional 2-4 hours, or until it reaches a scoopable consistency.
Serve the Champagne Lemon Lime Ginger Sorbet in chilled bowls or glasses. Optionally, garnish with a twist of citrus zest or a sliver of candied ginger for a decorative touch.
