Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 60 milliliters Fresh lime juice
- 60 milliliters Tequila
- 30 milliliters Triple sec or orange liqueur
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters Water
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly, hull them (remove the green tops), and cut them into halves if they are large.
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
In a blender or food processor, add the strawberries, lime juice, tequila, triple sec, the prepared sugar syrup, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and fully pureed.
If you prefer a smoother texture, pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the strawberry seeds.
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically 20-30 minutes).
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish. Place it in the freezer and stir every 30-45 minutes with a fork to break up ice crystals until it reaches the desired consistency (approximately 4 hours).
Once the sorbet is frozen and firm, scoop it into bowls or serving glasses. Optionally, garnish with lime slices, fresh strawberries, or a sprinkle of coarse salt for a margarita-style flair.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
