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.

Fantastic job with the lattice top! The pie looks awesome :).
It does look really pretty. I’ve never had the patience to do a lattice top. It sounds delicious!
I’m furious with myself for still never having a rhubarb pie! This is truly a good looking pie; very rustic and pretty!
Truly a work of art! I’m kind of intimidated by pies so I’m in awe of your pie making skills. That pie looks like it’s ready for a magazine cover! 🙂
Strawberry rhubarb pie is one of my favorites 🙂
Thanks for sharing this recipe. Mine is in the oven as I type. Hopefully, it comes out half as good as yours!
I just have to thank you for this recipe!! It’s the first time I’ve made a pie that wasn’t all runny when cut. I was so happy to have pieces that stayed intact!!
Also, I didn’t need the foil at any point – the crust didn’t overbrown, it was just perfect.
I’ll be using this again and again!
can i omit rhubarb and just put strawberries? will it make a difference?
I haven’t tried using this recipe with just strawberries. You might want to cut back on some of the sugar. Rhubarb is very tart, so you always have to put a lot of sugar into rhubarb recipes.
ahh, i can already hear the crunchy sound in my mouth!
