- 4 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)

- Sweetener Alternatives: For a healthier option, substitute sugar with honey, agave nectar, or a sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
- flavored spirit to elevate the sorbet’s flavor.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2-3 weeks.
