BOOZY FROZEN LEMONADE

Steps:

• Place sorbet, vodka, and lemonade in a blender jar. Fill the empty pint carton with ice and add it to the blender. Blend until smooth, serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine sugar, 8 sprigs tarragon, and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat; let cool completely.

Transfer to a blender with gin and 2 cups ice-cold water. Blend until smooth. (Mixture can be returned to freezer at this point until ready to serve.) Divide among chilled serving glasses, garnish with tarragon sprigs and lemon wedges, and serve immediately.
