Lemon Basil Sherbet Mocktail or Mimosa
Lovely little balls of no-churn Lemon Basil Sherbet topped with fizzy 7UP TEN® for a fun mocktail ...or champagne for a mimosa.
Ingredients
For the Lemon Basil Sherbet
- 2 cups 7UP TEN® Lemon Lime Soda
- ½ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- zest of 2 lemons
- ¼ cup finely chopped basil leaves
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
For the Lemon Basil Sherbet Mocktail
- Lemon Basil Sherbet
- 7 UP TEN® Lemon Lime Soda
- garnish: lemon slice basil leaves
For the Lemon Basil Sherbet Mimosa
- Lemon Basil Sherbet
- 7 UP TEN® Lemon Lime Soda
- champagne
- garnish: lemon slice basil leaves
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the 7UP TEN® soda, juice, sugar, zest, and basil. Add heat, if necessary, to get the sugar to dissolve (it won't take much). Chill in the refrigerator.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the cream to medium peaks. Gently stir in the 7up-lemon-basil mixture. Transfer sherbet to a nonreactive storage container and freeze completely.
- To serve, use a melon baller to put two balls of sherbet in a champagne glass. Slowly pour 7up TEN® with or without champagne, to your taste, over top (bubbles!). Garnish with lemon and fresh basil.
