This chilly and refreshing Cucumber Gin and Tonic Sorbet is the perfect icy boozy cocktail to keep cool in the summer heat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • Zest and juice from 2 medium limes
  • 1 small cucumber, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2 cups tonic water
  • 3 ounces gin
  • Serve with fresh lime slices, additional tonic water and gin, if desired

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium low, stirring frequently until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
  2. In a blender, mix together the simple syrup, zest and juice from two limes, cucumber, 2 cups of the tonic water and the gin. Blend until smooth. Strain mixture into a baking pan or baking dish. Freeze 2 to 3 hours or until slightly frozen. Break up and stir with a fork. Freeze another 2 to 3 hours or until almost solid.
  3. Spoon icy mixture into the blender and blend until lighter and smooth. Return the mixture to the baking pan and freeze until scoopable. Cover and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  4. When ready to serve scoop the sorbet into glasses, top with a lime slice and additional tonic water and gin if desired.

Notes

For a super smooth texture, use an ice cream maker to freeze the mixture. Freeze the strained and chilled cucumber mixture according to your ice cream makers directions. Transfer to a pan, cover and freeze until hardened.
