Mürver Şerbeti (Elderflower Sherbet) vs Granizado de Limón (Spanish Lemon Slushie)

Both drinks start from a similar sugar-and-water syrup, but they take lemon in opposite directions. Mürver Şerbeti uses thinly pared peel and only a little juice, steeping them with fresh elderflower heads for a day or two to build a gentle, floral, aromatic infusion that is chilled and served cold, still or with sparkling water. Granizado de Limón leans on the juice of four lemons for a sharp, tangy base, frozen and scraped repeatedly into light, flaky ice crystals. Mint appears there only as an optional garnish, leaving the lemon itself fully in focus.
