Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups sparkling wine or champagne
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp light corn syrup
  • 1 tsp lemon and/or grapefruit zest
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh grapefruit juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice, fresh squeezed

Steps

1Make the base

  1. Put 1 1/2 cups sparkling wine or champagne into a saucepan.
  2. Add 1 cup white granulated sugar.
  3. Add 1 tbsp light corn syrup.
  4. Add 1 tsp lemon and/or grapefruit zest.
  5. Bring to a vigorous boil so that the sugar completely dissolves.
  6. Remove from the heat.

2Strain and chill

  1. Strain into a stainless steel bowl, which will help it cool down faster.
  2. Add 1 1/2 cups fresh grapefruit juice.
  3. Add 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice.
  4. Chill completely: place the bowl in a larger bowl half-filled with ice water and stir until the champagne solution is completely cold, refreshing the ice in the outer bowl if necessary.

3Freeze

  1. Process the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the ice cream maker directions.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a storage container.
  3. Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours.
