Whiskey-Honey Sorbet
Whiskey-honey sorbet is a truly unique dessert that combines the silky texture of sweet honey with the characteristic, spicy flavor of whiskey. Whiskey has been produced for hundreds of years in Scotland, Ireland and America, while honey is one of the oldest natural sweeteners, highly prized by ancient civilizations. The first sorbets were consumed in ancient Rome, when snow flavored with honey and fruit juice was cooled. In the modern version, the smoky notes of whiskey and the natural sweetness of honey create a perfect harmony, resulting in a light, icy dessert. Imagine a spoonful of whiskey-honey sorbet melting in your mouth, filling every bite with warmth and freshness!

Preparation Steps
1
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, honey, and grated orange zest. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the honey is completely dissolved.
2
Let the honey syrup cool completely, then stir in the fresh lemon juice and whiskey.
3
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer.
4
Every 30 minutes, scrape the sorbet with a fork to create an icy, crystalline texture. Repeat this process 3-4 times until fully frozen.
5
Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to make it easier to scoop. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a thin slice of orange.
