How to Make Lucky Limey Float

  1. Add 1 to 2 drops of green food coloring to a tall glass or parfait glass. This adds a festive touch!
  2. Gently add 2 scoops of lime sherbet to the glass.
  3. Slowly pour 6 ounces of lemon-lime soda (or club soda) over the sherbet. Pour slowly to avoid excessive fizzing.
  4. Leave a small amount of space at the top of the glass to allow room for the sherbet to rise and create a delightful frothy top.
  5. (Optional) For a creamy milkshake-like consistency, blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth before serving.
