This was just a little too sweet, but the flavor and texture were great. I will definitely try again, and maybe cut back on the sugar a bit.

"We live in the Napa Valley, where we developed our passion for great food and wine. This is a twist on one of my favorite cocktails. The red food coloring gives the sorbet a light rose color, but it is optional. Three small scoops in a martini glass make an elegant presentation."—Lynnsey Elshere, American Canyon, CA
