This minty mojito sorbet has all the flavors of a mojito cocktail! The optional rum in the recipe helps the sorbet not freeze too hard if being stored in the freezer. Delicious on its own, or mixed with rum for a frozen mojito.

Ingredients

1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
0.5 cups mint leaves , packed
0.25 cups grated lime zest
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1.5 cups citrus-flavored sparkling water
2 tablespoons rum , Optional

Instructions

1

Heat the water, sugar, and mint leaves in a saucepan over medium heat, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes to extract the mint flavor. Set the mixture aside to cool, and strain out the mint leaves.
2

Pour the cooled mint mixture, lime zest, lime juice, sparkling water, and rum into a bowl and mix well. Pour into the container of an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serve immediately for a softer texture, or freeze in a sealed container for a harder sorbet. Let hard-frozen sorbet thaw a few minutes before serving.
