Grapefruit sorbet with vodka

30 minutes
Grapefruit sorbet with vodka is a refreshing dessert with a delicate balance of sweetness and citrus bitterness. Its roots can be traced back to European culinary traditions, where fruit sorbets have long been a symbol of summer coolness. Juicy pink grapefruit gives the sorbet its characteristic refreshing taste, while the addition of vodka not only enhances the aroma but also makes the texture smoother. The light sweetness of sugar softens the natural tartness, creating a harmony of flavors. This dessert is perfect as a finishing touch for an exquisite dinner or as a cooling snack on a hot day. It is best served in chilled glasses, garnished with fresh mint or thin slices of grapefruit for added aesthetic effect.
