Few frozen desserts are as purely satisfying as a scoop of mango sorbet made from real, ripe fruit. This one leans entirely on fresh mango flesh, bright lime juice, and a simple homemade syrup, so every bite tastes like the fruit at its absolute peak. The optional splash of vodka is a clever little trick that keeps the texture scoopable and smooth straight from the freezer. Straining the blended purée through a fine-mesh sieve removes any fibrous bits, giving you that silky, restaurant-quality finish without any fuss. Because the ingredient list is so clean and straightforward, there's nothing hidden to worry about — no grain-based additives, no mystery stabilizers, just fruit and sugar doing their thing. It's the kind of dessert that feels impressive enough for a dinner party but is genuinely easy to pull off at home with an ice cream maker and a little patience.

Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold, at least 30 minutes.
Add the mango flesh, lime juice, salt, and chilled simple syrup to a blender or food processor. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in the vodka, if using.
