Tips for the Perfect Sorbet
- Choose Your Wine Wisely: The type of red wine you choose will impact the flavor of your sorbet. Fruity wines like Merlot or Zinfandel are excellent choices.
- Sweeten to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter sorbet, feel free to adjust the sugar amount to your liking.
- Texture Matters: If your sorbet isn’t smooth enough after the first cycle, don’t hesitate to run it through the Ninja Creami again.
Personal Touch
When I first got my Ninja Creami, I thought it was just for ice cream. Little did I know it would become my go-to for sorbets as well! This sangria sorbet is a family favorite, especially during gatherings. The mix of wine and berries makes it a hit, and the best part is how simple it is to prepare.
Variations to Try
- Non-Alcoholic Version: Skip the red wine and brandy. Use grape juice instead for a kid-friendly version.
- Tropical Twist: Add a splash of coconut rum and use tropical fruits like mango and papaya instead of berries.
- Herbal Infusion: Add a few mint leaves to the mixture for a refreshing twist.
