Few frozen desserts are as purely satisfying as a scoop of mango sorbet on a warm afternoon, and this one delivers that tropical sweetness in the most honest way possible. Every ingredient here is exactly what it sounds like — ripe mango, fresh lime juice, sugar, water, and a pinch of salt — so there's no mystery about what you're eating. That matters a lot when you're trying to avoid the refined vegetable and seed oils that sneak into so many store-bought frozen treats and packaged desserts. The bright hit of lime juice keeps the flavor lively and balanced, while the optional splash of vodka helps the texture stay scoopable straight from the freezer. Straining the blended purée before churning is a small step that makes a big difference, giving you a silky-smooth result without any stringy bits getting in the way. The process is straightforward if you have an ice cream maker, and the payoff is a vibrant, jewel-toned sorbet that tastes like the best mango you've ever eaten — just frozen.
