And she was delighted…
Love your recipe. Will make it again."
STEVEN

If you love a good Gin & Tonic, you'll love this zesty frozen version. It's simple to make in the Thermomix and requires only five ingredients: gin, tonic, lemon juice, sugar syrup, and egg white to make it smooth.

The flavour is sweet and tangy, with just enough gin, so it's not overpowering. It can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer, and it will remain soft, so there's no need to take it out to thaw before serving.

Ingredients

Note: The full quantities are shown in the recipe card below.

  • Sugar syrup - see the recipe here to make sugar syrup in the Thermomix.
  • Gin - use any brand of gin!
  • Lemon juice and zest -
  • Tonic water -
  • 1 egg white - adding egg white gives the sorbet a smooth texture. Use a small egg white so that it doesn't affect the flavour.

Serving Suggestions

I love this served alone with just a lemon wedge for garnish. Even though it contains a little gin, both my teenage daughters have enjoyed a small portion of this with no noticeable alcohol effect! (I probably wouldn't serve it to small children, though🥴!).

Ingredients

  • 250 g water
  • 300 g white sugar
  • 60 ml gin
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice about half a lemon
  • 450 ml tonic water
  • 1 small egg white note 1

Instructions

  • Start making the sugar syrup: Add the water and sugar to the Thermomix bowl and heat for 5 min/100°C/speed 2 until the sugar has fully dissolved.
  • Pour the sugar syrup into a large freezer-proof container with a capacity of at least 1 litre. Cool on the benchtop, then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Once cooled, add the gin, lemon juice, and tonic water and stir well. Cover and freeze for 6 hours. The sorbet will be semi-frozen and slushy.
  • Transfer the semi-frozen mixture to the Thermomix bowl. Add the egg white and blend for 15 sec/speed 9 until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the mixture back into the container, cover, and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight, until firm enough to scoop.
  • Decorate with strips of lemon or lime zest before serving (optional).

Notes

Egg white: Egg white is optional and helps create a lighter, fluffier texture when the sorbet is mixed.
Storage: The sorbet can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Thanks to the gin and sugar syrup, it remains soft enough to scoop straight from the freezer.

  1. Simone Katherine Clement says

    Hello I just got this thermomix, how can I half the sugar syrup? Or leave it out all together?

    Do I just put water then?
    Instead of the sugar syrup
