Watermelon sorbet is a refreshing treat from sunny Italy. Light and fruity with hints of honey and citrus freshness, it’s perfect for a hot day. Its soft, melting texture is filled with the rich aroma of watermelon, complemented by the slight tartness of lemon juice and a subtle wine note. Sweet syrup made from honey and sugar deepens the flavor, while fresh watermelon cubes add structure. This sorbet not only delights the palate but also makes an impressive presentation at any festive or summer table. Enhanced by port and white wine, it creates an exquisite balance between freshness and elegance.
