Orange sorbet is a frozen dessert made from orange juice or puree, sugar, and water, churned to a smooth, airy texture with no dairy at all, which is what distinguishes it from orange sherbet, which contains a small amount of milk or cream. It is served as a palate cleanser between courses, as a light dessert on its own, or as a bright addition to cocktails and mocktails. Its bright, tangy sweetness comes directly from the fruit's natural sugars and acids, and it pairs well with berries, stone fruits, and tropical fruit, as well as with warming spices like cinnamon and ginger or orange-based liqueurs such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau.
