I won't pretend that these are the height of Italian fashion, but style is eternal as is the childish joy of a bright yellow frozen lemon. You could, of course, buy in lemon sorbet instead, and use the flesh from the lemon shells for cocktails or lemonade (and/or freeze the juice for future use), but this really is such an easy make-ahead dessert that I urge you to give it a go.

Granulated sugar doesn't dissolve well in cold drinks, leaving a sweet puddle at the bottom. Using powdered sugar can add graininess due to cornstarch.
