Mai Tai Sorbet

4.9

(11)

One of the best-known and most popular tropical drinks, the mai tai translates perfectly into an irresistible sorbet. For a whimsical presentation, garnish with colorful paper umbrellas and bright orchid flowers or bougainvillea blossoms.

Note:

If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can turn this mixture into a granita — an Italian frozen dessert. Mix 1/2 cup water into sorbet mixture. Freeze in bowl until semifirm, whisking occasionally, about 3 hours. Cover and freeze until solid, at least 6 hours or overnight. Using fork, scrape surface of granita to form crystals, scoop crystals into frozen glasses and serve immediately.
