Note
A plural that exists because sorbet leads a double life. As a substance it is uncountable: you eat some sorbet, or a scoop of sorbet. As kinds or servings it counts: a menu offers three sorbets, and a kitchen makes lemon and mango sorbets. Use the plural when you mean varieties or portions. For the frozen dessert itself, keep the singular.
