Sorbet is my favourite treat to refresh my mouth and (for real) soothe my taste buds. It's the remedy for almost any ailment from a hangover to the ever-lasting battle with the after-meal taste in your mouth (often experienced as an unidentifiable mixture of flavours leaving the mouth bland and slightly parched). The other day, after a night of heavy drinking I went out shopping with my friend, Chloe. Upon getting into the sun, I knew that things would be a little rough - hydration was extremely necessary. It was a beautiful day and we decided that when finished with our shopping adventure, it would be essential to grab some sorbet and eat it in the park. From this point on, the only thing on my mind was the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (sorbet at the end of shopping). For the next three hours, nothing could alleviate my hangover, and I knew there was only one possibility - sorbet. We finally decided it was time.
One thing you have to remember when purchasing sorbet, is not to be stingy. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT go for something cheap. It will not be true sorbet and it will not leave you with the satisfaction you deserve. You must splurge. If in the Montreal area, I strongly recommend bilboquet (a Montreal brand), but if you are not in the area, a brand by the name of "fresca" should fulfill your needs.
If you are suffering from an illness and in need of mouth refreshment, I strongly recommend going for a citrus sorbet. You will most definitely feel refreshed. Lemon is my favourite. On the other hand, if you are looking for a tasty treat, you can afford to be much less selective. Let your taste buds run wild with all the choices. I personally stick to more traditional flavours, and will often choose lemon or raspberry sorbet - they will never disappoint.
