Luau Lemonade Floats

Ingredients

1 cup fresh lemon juice (10 to 12 lemons, squeezed)

½ cup honey or to taste

½ teaspoon vanilla

½ cup warm water

3 cups chilled sparkling water or club soda

Assorted fruit sorbets (lemon, lime, orange, raspberry, strawberry, and/or blueberry)

Makes 4 servings

Combine lemon juice, honey, vanilla and water in a mixing bowl. Use whisk to blend ingredients.

Pour lemon juice mixture into a large pitcher and add chilled sparkling water or club soda, whisking to combine. Set pitcher in freezer for 5 minutes to cool quickly. Don’t forget and leave it there!

While lemonade is chilling, choose your flavor—or combination of flavors—of sorbet. Using a melon baller, scoop 4 to 6 mini sorbet balls per serving. Place them inside each glass and pour sparkling lemonade on top.

Serving Suggestions:

Garnish with fresh fruit and a straw. Serve with your favorite crunchy snack.
