Lime lemon sorbet can become very hard because a home freezer freezes it firmly and the mixture has little fat. Let it sit briefly at room temperature before scooping rather than forcing the scoop.

Lime lemon sorbet often turns bitter when too much zest or the white pith gets into the mixture. Use only the thin colored zest, and strain the juice to remove seeds.

Lime lemon sorbet keeps frozen when stored in a tightly sealed, freezer-safe container. Its texture and citrus flavor are best when protected from air and temperature changes; discard it if it has thawed for a long time.

Lime lemon sorbet can be served in a small portion between rich or strongly flavored courses. Its cold temperature and tart citrus taste refresh the palate without adding another heavy dish.
