Steps:
- Watermelon-Rosemary Sorbet: Freeze the canister of an ice cream or sorbet maker overnight (or according to manufacturer's directions). Meanwhile, prepare a simple syrup by combining water, sugar, and rosemary sprigs in a small saucepan. Over medium-high heat, bring to a simmer, uncovered, then immediately turn off heat and let rosemary steep as syrup cools to room temperature, 10 minutes.
- Remove and discard rosemary sprigs. Pour syrup into a blender, then add watermelon, lime juice, and tequila. Cover and blend until smooth. Place a strainer over a storage container and strain watermelon mixture, separating the pulp and foam from the liquid; discard pulp and foam. Cover and chill liquid overnight in the refrigerator. (Alternatively, mixture can be chilled quickly by placing the container into an ice bath.)
- Set up ice cream maker and pour watermelon base into the frozen canister. Turn on and churn mixture until it's thick and looks frozen, about 30 minutes. Transfer sorbet into a container and freeze, covered, at least 2 hours. Makes 1 quart.
- Assembly: Place a scoop of sorbet into a chilled glass; add a tablespoon each of diced peaches and blueberries. Top with sparkling rosé and serve immediately, with a spoon, straw, or both.

WATERMELON SORBET
I'm posting this in answer to a request. I haven't made it myself. It was on a site called The Ice Cream Parlor. An ice cream maker is necessary. Times do not include chilling or freezing, and are guesses.

WATERMELON SORBET
Very light and refreshing with the perfect amount of sweetness. Lime juice brightens up the flavor and adds a delightful zing. The texture is soft, reminiscent of a very light sorbet combined with a shaved ice. This is a great recipe to make with plentiful watermelon available in the summertime. It's the perfect ending after a filling summer dinner or a refreshing snack on a hot day. You could even pour a shot of Cointreau® over the top or blend the mixture with tequila and enjoy it as a boozy summer treat.

WATERMELON SORBET
There are no bad watermelons, but how can you improve your chances for a ripe, delicious one? The cheater's answer is to buy them at a farm stand or a farmers' market, where not only are they likely to be tastier but will also come with a seasoned pro to help. If you're in the grocery store, you might have to get a little rough: put your ear close and slap the side of the watermelon. If it makes a hollow sound, you're in business.

Steps:
- Cut a small watermelon into small chunks (discarding the rind), and freeze them. When they're frozen, put them in a food processor with 1/2 cup yogurt, 2 tablespoons sugar and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Process until just smooth, being careful not to let it become watery. Transfer to a shallow glass or ceramic dish, and freeze for at least an hour.
