Not yet rated

This Pisco sour sorbet recipe from Helen Graves provides heaps of refreshment, thanks to plenty of fresh lime, punchy Pisco and a dash of Angostura bitters to serve. Making sorbets in a Vitamix is spectacularly easy – the powerful motor makes light work of crushing ice cubes into a perfect consistency.

Pisco sour sorbet

  • 4 limes
  • 100g of caster sugar
  • 50ml of Pisco
  • 600g of ice cubes
  • Angostura bitters, to serve

Equipment

  • Vitamix Pro750 fitted with 2.0l low profile container

Method

1
To begin, grate the zest from one of the limes and place the zest in the Vitamix container. Use a sharp knife to skin the limes, removing as much pith as possible
2
Add the flesh of the limes to the Vitamix container, followed by the sugar, Pisco and ice cubes (in that order)
3
Start the Vitamix on Variable 1 then slowly increase to Variable 8, using the tamper to push the ice cubes down into the motor. Once the tone of the motor changes (noticeably) stop the Vitamix
4
Transfer to a container with a lid and place in the freezer for 1 hour for a firmer finish
5
Scoop into glasses and add dashes of bitters to serve
