Limoncello Lemon Sorbet (With or Without Mint) image

This is the concoction I came up with when I couldn't find quite what I was looking for. It is absolutely foolproof. It's simple, sweet, and tart, with just enough limoncello liqueur. Serve with sprig of mint or fresh berries. Top with limoncello or vodka if desired.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but this sorbet was surprisingly good. The mint really helped to balance out the sweetness of the lemon.

I'm not a fan of mint, so I omitted it from the recipe. The sorbet was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the mint.
