Raspberry Sorbet and Ginger Beer Floats
Once I decided to make homemade ginger beer, I knew I wanted to make a float of some sort with it. Once we tasted just how spicy the ginger beer came out, I knew it needed to be something sweet, like this raspberry sorbet.
This was a match made in summertime treat heaven. Drinking it through a straw before the sorbet melted yields a spicy gingery drink with hints of raspberry. But as the sorbet melts into a slush, you get a well balanced sweet and spicy concoction sure to cool you down from the summer’s heat.
No recipe for this post today. I simply scooped some raspberry sorbet in to a cup, topped it off with some ginger beer, and served it with a fun straw. You could obviously use store-bought versions of these components if you want as well.

I love pomegranate so much ♥

Isn’t it awesome. It makes me so sad when my store doesn’t have any…
After looking over a handful of the blog articles on your website,
I seriously like your technique of writing a blog. I saved

I’ve never had a cheeseball before! This one looks like the perfect entry – gorgeous!
All those pomegranate seeds look like little jewels on the cheese ball! And to think cheese balls have sorta become unfashionable in recent years.

I agree, and there’s no reason for it! Especially with how pretty this cheeseball is.
this sounds delicious, and i love that it’s studded with those gems of pomegranate seeds 🙂

Pom seeds are my favorite. I’m so sad that I can’t find pomegranates around me anymore. The containers of just the seeds are not the same…
