03 - Pour the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds and pulp, if desired.
04 - Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions until thick and slushy in consistency.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a vacation in a bowl, boozy and unapologetic without requiring a blender full of ice.
  • You can make it entirely in advance, so there's zero stress when guests arrive.
  • The rum-soaked strawberries create a sophistication that feels fancy but takes just minutes of actual hands-on work.
02 -
  • Cold temperatures dull sweetness, so taste your mixture before freezing and make it slightly sweeter than you think it should be.
  • If your ice cream maker has a frozen bowl, put it in the freezer the night before—a cold bowl churns faster and creates smaller, silkier ice crystals.
03 -
  • If your sorbet becomes too hard to scoop, let it sit at room temperature for three to five minutes—it'll soften just enough without melting into slush.
  • The lime zest adds a sophisticated bitterness that balances the sweetness; don't skip it or use extract as a substitute.
