Bubly – Lemon Sorbet

Here’s an intriguing flavor—it sounds delicious, doesn’t it. Of course, it just gets me thinking about the waters I haven’t seen yet. Vanilla Custard, Banana Cream, Chocolate, Pumpkin Pie. Where are the autumn spice flavors? For that matter, coffee, and peanut butter. Peanut brittle, circus peanuts, black walnut taffy, licorice, anise, schnapps, whiskey, and campfire? They seem to be stuck in mixing pomegranate and citrus—it’s getting dull—but I’m hopeful. Anyway, this is another one where they mix a fruit flavor with vanilla and viola. It’s pretty delicious. You could compare this with Limoncello (water, La Croix)—but I’m not comparing them head-to-head—not falling for that trap! I’d like to say Limoncello has this one beat with a possibly more complex flavor, maybe more lemon zest or something, but I’m not sure. At any rate, this is possibly mis-named—as actual lemon sorbet is simply lemon and sugar, no milk, and not vanilla, am I wrong? Lemon Sherbet would be a more fitting name—though, generally, that just includes milk in the recipe, not necessarily vanilla, am I wrong? So, I don’t know what you’d call it—Lemon Pie, perhaps? But then you’re competing with Key Lime Pie. How about Lemon Custard? That might contain vanilla. But isn’t that a song by Led Zeppelin? Which would mean it’s a code-word for Robert Plant’s manly juices, am I wrong?
