Raspberry Lime Float with Extra Raspberries
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 scoops raspberry sorbet
- 1 cup raspberry soda
- 1 lime, sliced
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- 2 sprigs of fresh mint
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries have broken down and the mixture has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Divide the raspberry sauce equally between two tall glasses.
- Add a scoop of raspberry sorbet to each glass.
- Squeeze the juice of half a lime into each glass, then drop the lime slices into the glasses.
- Slowly pour 1/2 cup of raspberry soda into each glass. The soda will fizz up, so pour it slowly to avoid overflow.
- Top each glass with whipped cream, extra fresh raspberries, and a sprig of mint.
- Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon to enjoy the layers of flavors and textures.
