Pink Grapefruit Campari Sorbet
 
 
This delicately pink sorbet packs a wallop of tart grapefruit flavour for a refreshing finish to a summer meal. Campari, an Italian aperitif with a bitter bite, does double duty in this recipe - its bright red colour enhances the sorbet's rosy hue, and also ensures a more scoopable texture by inhibiting ice crystal formation. Substitute with gin or vodka, if you can't find it.
