This method is similar in nature to the classic sorbet method in which a sweetener is added to a base ingredient/flavor of sorbet, but this method yields a much more service-friendly product. The base is usually a mix of fruit or vegetable juice or purée or infused liquid or wine, or a flavored dairy product for sherbets, with water (not always; it depends on the main ingredient) and a special sorbet syrup (recipe follows) that contains a variety of sugars and sorbet stabilizers, which are what make the end product so service friendly.
