Here's a lemon-based treat that is so good it will knock you over. It's accented with blue curaçao for a striking color. For something fun, serve the sorbet in scallop shells, which are sold at cookware stores.
If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can turn this mixture into a granita—an Italian frozen dessert. Place the bowl of the sorbet mixture directly in freezer. Freeze until semifirm, whisking occasionally, about 3 hours. Cover; freeze until solid, at least 6 hours or overnight. Using fork, scrape surface of granita to form crystals. Scoop into frozen coupes.
