Follow The Directions

01

Step
3 mins

In a high-powered blender, combine the fresh pink grapefruit juice, blueberries, sugar, and vodka (if using). Blend on high speed until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is perfectly smooth. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes.

02

Step
4 hrs

Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container, preferably a shallow one for faster freezing. Cover tightly and place in the freezer. Freeze for approximately 3-4 hours, or until the mixture is solid.

03

Step
5 mins

Remove the container from the freezer. The sorbet will be frozen solid. Use a fork or ice cream scoop to vigorously stir and break up the ice crystals, creating a slushy consistency. This step is crucial for achieving a smooth sorbet texture.

04

Step
3 hrs

Return the broken-up sorbet to the freezer and freeze for another 3 hours, or until firm but still scoopable. This second freeze helps to further refine the texture.

05

Step

Once firm, scoop and serve immediately. If the sorbet has been frozen for an extended period, allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving. Store any remaining sorbet in a covered container in the freezer.

For a more intense grapefruit flavor, consider adding the zest of one pink grapefruit to the blender.
If you prefer a sweeter sorbet, start with the recipe's sugar amount and add more gradually until it reaches your desired sweetness level.
The vodka helps to prevent the sorbet from freezing into a solid block. If you omit the vodka, you may need to stir the sorbet more frequently during the initial freezing process.
Serving suggestion: Garnish with fresh mint sprigs or a few extra blueberries for an elegant presentation.

    I found that adding a little lime juice enhanced the tartness of the grapefruit. A great addition!

    This recipe is so easy! I love that I don't need an ice cream maker.

  • Wiley Breitenberg

    Next time, I will try adding a splash of gin instead of vodka for a different flavor profile.
