175g granulated sugar

300 ml water
2 grapefruit, all pith and rind removed and segmented
75 ml/5 tbsp gin
1 egg white

Method:

Put the sugar and water in a saucepan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes, without stirring. Leave to cool. Puree the grapefruit flesh in a blender or food processor with the gin. Stir into the cold syrup and freeze for 1.5 hours until firm around the edges. Whisk thoroughly with a fork to break up the ice crystals. Whisk the egg white until stiff and fold in with a metal spoon. Return to the freezer and freeze until firm.
