(#113) Le Colonel: Lemon Vodka Sorbet...HAPPY BASTILLE DAY!

Joyeux Quatorze Juillet! In honor of Bastille Day, here is Le Colonel; a sorbet based on a french dessert of lemon sorbet bathed in a shot of vodka. Instead of floating the lemon sorbet in the vodka, I combined the two together to make one epic, light, and insanely refreshing dessert. I'll be making this one all Summer long, celebrating my favorite country on Earth! 

BON APPETIT! 

P.S. For all of you francophiles out there, here is a madeline s'more I made with white chocolate, toasted coconut and black raspberries! 

(#5) LEMON GINGER: A Taste of Spring

 Daylight savings is here and Spring is but a few weeks away.  The pastel dresses and cute cardigans are ready to come out.  As are the light and fruity flavors that we've been waiting to make!  This lemon ginger ice cream is refreshing like a sherbet--it melts so sweetly in your mouth! 


 Spicy, sweet, and sour in one flavor!  


Recommended: Absolutely garnish your scoop of lemon ginger with berries (we put blackberries on ours!)
