I used to have a wonderful recipe for Gin & Lime ice lollies,which are a great grown-up ice lolly.

 

But I cannot find it anywhere

 

I know its a long shot,but does anyone else have this recipe?

It was from Good Food Magazine,several years ago,& also featured Tequila Sunrise & other boozy Lollies

They sound delicous - I'll have a look at some old issues when I get home though.

What about this one?

 

Lemon, Gin and Juniper Sorbet

 

Ingredients

250ml water

200g caster sugar

25g juniper berries, crushed

6 Lemons, grated zest and juice

100ml gin

3 egg whites, whisked

tonic water, to serve

 

For the caramelised lemon

100g caster sugar

125ml water

1 lemon, very thinly sliced

 

 

Method

1. Heat the water, sugar and juniper berries together in a pan, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.

 

2. Remove the syrup from the heat and add the lemon zest and juice. Set aside for 1 hour to infuse. Cover and chill.

 

3. Pour the lemon syrup into an ice cream maker and, while it is churning, pour in the gin.

 

4. When the sorbet is almost frozen, add the whisked egg white and continue to churn until frozen. Transfer to the freezer until ready to serve.

 

5. For the caramelised lemon, place the sugar and water together in a saucepan over a medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add the lemons and slowly cook for about 12 minutes, until caramelised.

 

6. Serve in a Martini glass with a little tonic at the bottom and a ball of sorbet on top. Decorate with the caramelised lemon.

My dad makes gin and tonic sorbet - but I dont think that there's much tonic in it - its more like a slush puppy!!
