Pink Grapefruit-Asti Sorbet

After the insanely rich and creamy roasted banana ice-cream I made earlier this month, the wild boar wanted something lighter and refreshing for a change.

This recipe is adapted from David Lebovitz' pink grapefruit-champagne sorbet recipe. I used Asti, a type of sweet white sparkling wine instead of champagne. Since the wine is quite sweet, I omitted the sugar and sweetened it with agave nectar. It's extremely refreshing with a mix of bitter and sweet flavours. Perfect for a hot summer day or after a spicy meal!
