How to Make Margarita Sorbet

  1. In a medium saucepan, sprinkle 1 envelope (0.25 oz) Knox unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of water until the sugar is dissolved and the gelatin is evenly dispersed.
  2. Let the mixture stand for 1 minute to allow the gelatin to bloom.
  3. Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Do not boil.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature. This prevents the gelatin from setting prematurely.
  5. Stir in 3/4 cup water, 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4-5 limes), 1/2 cup tequila, and 1/4 cup triple sec.
  6. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking pan and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
  7. Using a food processor, process the frozen mixture in two batches until completely smooth and fluffy. This step breaks down ice crystals for a superior texture.
  8. Return the sorbet to the baking pan and freeze for another 2-3 hours to allow it to firm up completely after processing.
  9. Serve in sugar-rimmed glasses or bowls. Garnish with a lime peel twist for an elegant touch.
