Meet your new go-to summer dessert.
This cold little cup of heaven is already my favorite thing about summer.
Although, when winter rolls around, I will add warm mulling spices and keep eating this. Icy, boozy desserts suit me well, no matter the time of year. I'd be lying if I didn't tell you how frequently I enjoyed a champagne sundae. Is every day at 5:00 too often?
This recipe for sangria sorbet makes 2 cups of sorbet, but you can easily double it. Just make sure your ice cream maker can handle the volume.
I recommend a fruity, light red wine for this recipe; a Pinot Noir is perfect in this situation. You can use any type of accent liquor that sounds good to you---anything from Cointreau to peach moonshine. (I'll give you one guess which one I used!)
I feel like I should warn you about the addictive properties of this sangria. You've been warned. Now, go make it and enjoy it on a hot day!
Sangria Sorbet
Makes 2 cups
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- ½ cup fruity red wine
- ⅔ cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from about 3 oranges)
- zest from 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon orange liquor (or peach moonshine)
Instructions
- In a 2 cup glass measuring cup, stir together the sugar and water. Heat in the microwave for about 1 minute, stir together until sugar completely dissolves.
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir together well. Cover and chill completely, at least 4 hours but overnight is best.
- Churn in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's direction. Scrape the churned sorbet into a dish, cover and place in the freezer for a few hours to firm up.

THIS IS SO HAPPENING. I have a love affair with sangria. And now it's dessert, too! DANG. You're my favorite.
Liz (Little Bitty Bakes) says
This is awesome! It reminds me of something I saw in the Food Network magazine this month -- sangria floats, which basically amounted to dropping scoops of sorbet into red wine. :) Love the idea of sangria flavored sorbet though!

Sangria sorbet?! Be still my beating heart.
Hmmm...I wonder what would happen if we made a big batch of sangria and put a scoop of sangria sorbet into it...
