Margarita Sorbet - cjs - 05-05-2011 I was going to call this "Brendarita Sorbet" but only my friends would know what I was talking about, so here is "Margarita Sorbet" and is it ever good!! (I say modestly ) Margarita Sorbet 2 cups water 1 cup sugar 2/3 cup Jose Cuervo Margarita Mix 6 T. tequila 4 T. triple sec 1 T. cointreau 2 tsp. orange juice Stir water and sugar in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Pour into a medium bowl and let cool, 10 minutes. Add the margarita mix, triple sec, tequila, cointreau and orange juice; chill in the refrigerator until cold, about 2 hours. Transfer sorbet mixture to an ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer’s instruction. Transfer to a container, cover and freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Makes 1 quart. Freeze margarita glasses for 1 hour, then scoop the sorbet into the frozen glasses and serve immediately. To make a granita: Add an additional 1 cup water to the sugar/water mixture; continue with adding the other ingredients then freeze in a bowl until semi-firm, whisking occasionally, about 3 hours. Cover and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve: scrape the surface with a fork to form crystals, and scoop into frozen glasses. Serve immediately. edited to add: I should have waited for the pictures - Re: Margarita Sorbet - Gourmet_Mom - 05-05-2011 OH MY! I am going to have to make this over the summer for sure!!!!

Re: Margarita Sorbet - Mare749 - 05-06-2011 I don't know for sure, Jean, but if you did, it's been a few years and might not even be the same recipe. Thanks again!
