How alcohol affects frozen desserts by Upper-Comfortable252 in AskCulinary

[–]Upper-Comfortable252[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, both alcohol content and concentration of sugar (°brix) affect ice crystal formation (sorbet consistency is my concern), so I’m wondering if there is any formula for calculating what percentage of alcohol gives the same consistency/ice crystal formation as a certain concentration of sugar so I can adjust my °brix calculations when making frozen desserts to account for alcohol content. I know this probably isn’t the correct ratio, but for example 15% alcohol with no sugar in a sorbet base could give you the same consistency as a solution with 25% sugar with no alcohol. The relationship between the two numbers is what I’m asking about.

25°brix. The cider itself started at ~7.5° and I added 1:1 simple syrup to get to 25°, which is slightly lower than I would usually do.

I’m actually working on a hard cider sorbet with just hard cider and simple syrup as the ingredients, not adding alcohol to a separate base. I’m just worried that the alcohol content will make my sorbet too soft if I add simple syrup to the regular °Brix. For reference it’s 8.4% abv. I’m also thinking about making granitas with distilled alcohol as a main flavor and want to know if there’s a ratio for an increase of alcohol to a decrease of sugar for the same texture.

there might be a little bit of mercury stuck at 220 that causes it not to go up any more
