Pumphouse - Lychee Citrus Sorbet

Lychee Citrus Sorbet - Lychee Lemon Orange and Tangerine Sorbet

Today I return to the Pumphouse Creamery of south Minneapolis for a Lychee Citrus Sorbet.  I checked the website and the citrus flavors used are lemon, orange and tangerine.  Sorbet's are non-dairy by design.  Fruit sorbets are just fruit juice, sugar mixed with crushed ice which is then churned to give it as scoopable of a texture as possible.  Checking the lychee flavor tag on the right sidebar, I have had lychee in ice creams and sorbets several times before.  It is a watery fruit with a very sweet tropical flavor.  It will be interesting to see how it blends with the citrus.  Let's check it out.

Removing the lid, the sorbet a creamy yellowish off-white color to it.  Digging in, you can definitely tell that it's a sorbet.  But it's not too hard to get the spoon through it.  It was churned pretty well.  The flavor is mainly lemon but it is not too tart.  I am guessing that the orange,  tangerine and sweet lychee are helping to remove the tartness.  The best blends are when it's hard to describe the effect of each individual flavor and that is what is happening here.

This is a fun and refreshing citrus blend sorbet from Pumphouse Creamery.  It is a bit of a sweet and tropical flavor to brighten up everyone's winter.  I tried to imagine that I was at the beach instead of inside escaping the cold.  I hope this flavor becomes part of Pumphouse's "sorbet rotation".
