- If you don't have a juicer, you can roll the limes on the counter before cutting them to release the juice more easily.
- To make a blood orange sorbet, replace the limes with blood oranges.
- For a vegan sorbet, replace the honey with maple syrup.
- If you want a smoother sorbet, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before freezing.
