# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Your friends will think you smuggled it back from a street vendor in Mexico—which is almost true, in spirit.
  • It’s so ridiculously easy that you’ll start dreaming up your own summer sorbet combinations before the first scoop melts.
02 -
  • Once, I tried skipping the freezing step for watermelon and ended up with watery slush—tempting, but not the same.
  • Letting the mixture sit out for a minute before scooping softens it perfectly without turning it soupy.
