Lime & Mango Sorbet

Hoorah.. the weekend is here again! Then it came and gone with the wind. Oh! can I now freeze time and enjoy every single second? With the heat wave making my head spin, I decided to get started with "work" by sitting down here on my cool living room marbled floor pondering on what could I possibly make to cool off? It has to be something refreshing, light, quick and delicious of course. How does LIME & MANGO SORBET sound to you? I think it's perfect!

This recipe is perfect for anyone who has the love for sorbet, whether you own an ice-cream maker or not. For those who don't have an ice-cream maker like myself, the effort of scrapping, and running to and fro from the freezer is worth-it. For a change, I am hitting the lighter notes this weekend, and a healthier one too.

So you think it's just like any other sorbet eh? If you know me by now, I have always love to sneak in a surprise in all my treats. This is still quite healthy in my books, as they say, moderation is key. What didn't tell you first hand is that this sorbet is meant for grown ups. Lets just say, the little Jo in me, added some Mango flavoured Vodka. Yup, do you love me a little more now? Cause I sure love all of you who have supported me throughout my on and off blogging. Drink up, or shall I say scoop up. Cheers everyone!
