How to Make Campari Sorbetto Intermezzo From The Hags

  1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cooled sugar syrup, Campari, orange zest, orange juice, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, removing any pulp or seeds.
  4. Pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze for 1 hour.
  5. Remove from freezer and scrape the mixture with a fork to break up any ice crystals.
  6. Repeat the freezing and scraping process every 30-45 minutes, for a total of 2-3 hours, or until the sorbetto reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  7. Once the desired consistency is reached, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully harden.
  8. Serve in small bowls or glasses. Garnish with orange zest (optional).
