Printer-friendly version

 

Ingredients: 
1 1/2 cups water, divided
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup mint leaves, chopped (Use 1 cup if you like it extra minty)
1 cup strawberry sorbet
1/2 cup lime juice (juice of approximately 6-7 limes)
4 cups club soda (approximately 1 liter)
Lime wedges & mint springs, for serving

Directions:
In a small saucepan, add 1 cup water and the sugar.  Heat over medium low heat until dissolved, stirring occasionally. Once dissolved, remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup chopped mint leaves.  Let stand for 5 minutes.

In a pitcher, add remaining 1/2 cup water and sorbet.  Stir to combine and use back of the spoon to break up the sorbet. Carefully pour in the sugar & mint mixture.  Stir to combine.  Pour in club soda and gently stir together.  Pour over glasses filled with ice.  Garnish with a wedge of lime & sprig of mint.

(You can make ahead of time but wait to add the club soda until right before you serve).
