3Limes juice and zest
1/4cupFresh Mint finely chopped
1/4cupGin
12ozTonic water
Instructions
Place the juniper berries and mint in a container with the gin, covered. Let it set an hour, or over night.
Place the sugar and lime juice in a saucepan and bring to a boil for about a minute. Remove from the stove, add tonic water, and strain the gin into the mixture. Chill.
Pour into an ice cream maker, or a shallow freezable dish/pan. When sorbet is firm enough to scoop with a small spoon or melon baller, scoop little balls into mini baking paper cups (holds about 1 ½ tablespoons each).
Work quickly, placing the cups onto a dish/pan that has been chilled. Store in closed container in freezer. Serve with a tiny wedge of lime or mint.
