When it comes to zesting citrus, I try not to get "pithed off". 🤪

[@ElectronMoses]

Could you use agave syrup instead of sugar to bring out the tequila flavor more?

[@adrianbreedlove6510]

Reduce the water to 2.75 cups. After making the lime syrup and letting it cool, add 2 Tablespoons orgeat along with the triple sec (or orange liqueur), and then 1/3 cup of decent Jamaican rum. Then you've got Mai Tai sorbet. Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves :) Or cut out the triple sec and orgeat and go with 1/3 cup good silver Puerto Rican or Cuban rum, such as Don Q Cristal or Havana Club Blanco for Daiquiri sorbet. :)

[@SCSilk]

Thank you! Mai Tai sorbet was in my mind.

[@peterandersson3812]

[@nautilusshell4969]

Little tip - you'll get significantly more juice from your citrus if you microwave them for a short time - say 15-20 seconds maximum.

[@Sysaphys]

I always get weird looks from everyone when I order margaritas without salt, or straight shoot tequila without the lime or salt. It's good to know I may not be the only one.

That's leaving zests in sugar for an hour trick is amazing.

[@test_pattern]

Serious question though: I don't own an ice cream machine because it's something I don't make... Would this mixture work granita-style using a cookie sheet in the freezer / scraping it with a fork a la that one Alton Brown episode?

[@arthrodea]

It probably would - you could also put it in a food processor or take a hand held blender stick to it and try to make the crystals more of a fine sorbet texture.

[@markr1861]

Yup, as Chef John said if you freeze it in an ice cube tray and blend it nobody will be able to tell the difference. I imagine really any method that results in very fine ice will work well

[@TheDilettante]

[@angeluscorpius]

I'd just make the lime sorbet and drizzle in the tequila and triple sec to taste when enjoying. This would avoid the risk of not being able to freeze the sorbet (because, I'd probably added too much tequila).
