Cucumber and Basil Slush
With temperatures rising into the 90s and above, everyone is looking for a way to cool off. One of my favorite ways is with an icy beverage known as the slush—a simple combination of ice and liquid in a blender. Since the temperature is dramatic, I figured even the slush needed to be taken up a notch by using the classic, cool flavor combination of cucumber and lime, brightened up with fresh basil leaves.
Cranberry and Lillet Rouge Sorbet
Serve this tart sorbet as a palate cleanser between courses, or as a light dessert with whipped cream and candied ginger.
