Served for Jennifer Butsch-now-Petit's Q&D Bridal Shower, it's excellent with chocolate truffles or a yummy chocolate cake...
1 bottle of semi-good champagne (don't buy the really cheap stuff, but you don't need top of the line, either)
juice from 3 lemons
1 cup + 2 tbs sugar
ice cream maker
Combine all ingredients in the chilled bowl of the ice cream maker. Turn it on. This recipe takes about 30-40 minutes of churning, somewhat longer than most because the alcohol makes it freeze slower than is normal. As it is freezing, taste and add sugar or lemon, as your taste buds prefer. If you are having trouble getting the sorbet to freeze, put the ice cream bowl into the freezer.
This is best made about an hour in advance of when you want to serve.
Pour into bourbon glasses or small parfait glasses to serve. Garnish with a mint leaf or slice of lemon.
