For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a few fresh mint leaves to the food processor during blending. If you don't have chili-lime seasoning, a pinch of salt and a dash of cayenne pepper can serve as a substitute. Adjust the amount of honey to your liking, depending on the sweetness of your watermelon. For a boozy twist, add a tablespoon of vodka or white rum to the food processor during blending. This will also help to prevent the sorbet from freezing too hard.
