As the heat rises we are all looking for refreshing and tasty ways to cool down. Sure, a nice cold G&T should do the trick, but what about when you want something a little different? Enter G&T Sorbet!

This frozen delight is for us adults only as it contains real gin (2.1% ABV) and a hit of zesty lime. It's tangy, boozy and at only 66 calories a scoop we can have seconds, and maybe thirds...just remember - it has REAL gin in it! 

On sale now at Sainsbury's for just £2 a 500ml tub, fill your ginny boots and stay cool this summer! 

Or if you are channeling your inner Nigella or Mary Berry, you can make your own! Which also means you can decide on how much gin goes in! 

Method:

Put the sugar in a pan with 400ml water and warm over a low heat until dissolved. Increase the heat and boil for 1 min. Remove from the heat cool slightly.

Pour the tonic water into a bowl, add the sugar syrup, then chill in the fridge until cold.

Once the tonic mix is cold, add the gin, lime and lemon zests and juice, and pour into a container, then freeze until just frozen – around 2 hrs.

Remove the just-frozen sorbet from the freezer and break up with a fork. Froth the egg white with a fork, then add both to a food processor and pulse to blitz together – do it quickly so it doesn’t actually start to melt. Pour the mix back into your container and freeze until solid. Freeze extra slices of lemons and limes on a tray until solid. Serve the sorbet scooped into glasses or small bowls topped with lemon and lime slices

400g caster sugar
