Sherbet Fizz
Appliances Needed: Whisk/spoon, pitcher

Taki's Level of Difficulty for the Average College Student: heart

I'm almost ashamed at how easy this is.

1 quart sherbet. I like lime and pineapple the best.
1 2-liter bottle of ginger ale

Let the sherbert thaw a bit to get nice and soft. Plop the whole thing in your pitcher. Add the ginger ale gradually so it won't fizz over. Whisk it together until smooth and there are no more lumps.

My experience with the drink
I am a cosplayer with my husband. So I wanted to make a fun drink to take to conventions with us for a costume we do. You see we play Left 4 Dead and cosplay from it. There is an Item called Boomer Bile Bomb. I made it to look like the Bomb on the game. Then I got the idea to share it with everyone else. Even made a mixed drink for it.

Very good for parties around halloween, random costume parties, conventions, anything.

I may have to make this for my sick hubby, minus the sugar. (he has a cold) I think the green tea will help him feel much much better. =) He gets really pitiful when he's not feeling well. It's kind of cute.
