This smooth and luscious sorbet made with backyard fruit has a kick of heat from a serrano pepper that gives it a unique taste experience. Infuse honey with this hot pepper and enjoy a treat that is sweet, spicy, and refreshing all at once.
How about a mocktail?
For a refreshing mocktail, serve a scoop of sorbet in a cocktail glass and top with a splash of ice-cold soda water.
