Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 375 ml Champagne or sparkling wine
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 250 ml Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is fully dissolved (about 3-4 minutes). Do not let it come to a boil.
Remove the sugar-water mixture (simple syrup) from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, stir in the champagne, lemon juice, orange zest, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently to combine, ensuring the champagne does not lose too much of its carbonation.
Pour the mixture into a shallow metal baking dish, cover, and place it in the freezer.
After 1 hour, stir the mixture with a fork to break up ice crystals. Repeat this step every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours until you achieve a smooth, scoopable sorbet consistency.
Alternately, if you have an ice cream maker, pour the cooled mixture into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the sorbet freezes to your desired texture.
Transfer the sorbet into an airtight container and freeze for another 1-2 hours to firm up before serving.
Serve in chilled bowls or champagne glasses. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves or edible flowers for a festive touch.
