The Best Lemon Sorbet You've EVER Had (but actually)

Oh my GOD! You have not TASTED lemon sorbet until you've tasted this stuff. I invented this recipe last summer when the AC was barely working and sucking on icecubes just wasn't cutting it. The use of vodka here makes it so that the water doesn't freeze all the way and so you have sorbet and not really good frozen lemonade.

You will need the following:

• 2 and 1/2 cups water
• 1 cup sugar
• 6 lemons
• 3 tablespoons vodka

The Procedure

In a medium sauce pan, combine 1/2 cup water and the sugar. Grate the zest from 2 lemons directly into this mixture (don't heat yet!).

Juice all the lemons (including the 2 you zested) and keep in a separate bowl.

Heat the water, sugar, and zest. Stir frequently until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and add remaining 2 cups water (we'll call this the syrup from now on). Chill syrup in refrigerator until completely cool.

Stir lemon juice and vodka into the chilled sugar syrup.

Now you have two options.

1-chill in your icecream maker following manufacturer's directions.

2-freeze for 4-8 hours, stirring every 45 minutes until completely frozen. (This is a pain but it works)

Enjoy by the pool in a vintage swimming costume or after a barbeque (at which you probably supped on chips and salad if you were lucky).

Whatever you do-don't share! Sharing is for losers.
