Inspiration for this Frozen Strawberry Margarita Sherbet Float

On an ice cream float kick this summer, I found some new inspiration as I looked through my mom’s June issue of Better Homes and Gardens. I’ve never been all that big on frozen margaritas, myself. However, this strawberry lime sherbet float treat was interesting enough to catch my attention.

Keeping This Strawberry Lime Sherbet Drink Cold

I had so many struggles with photographing my frozen drinks this summer. When I first made this blue-raspberry frosted lemonade drink two months ago or so, I nearly pulled my hair out trying to photograph the frozen drink in 95 degree temps using natural sunlight. Several weeks later, as I played around with float combinations, it finally dawned on me to use frosty mugs straight out of the freezer. That not only helped with the photography, but also helped extend the life of the drink so that it was actually worth drinking once the photo shoot was finished.

The Better Homes and Gardens article on floats seconded using frosty mugs. It also directed readers to scoop the ice cream or sherbet in advance and place into the mugs on frozen cookie sheets. Then, you can keep the trays in the freezer until needed. You may not be interested in photographing your strawberry lime sherbet drink. However, some of these tips might come in handy if you want to prep your floats in advance for parties or just keep them colder longer.

I love the  magazine’s idea of making a strawberry margarita sherbet float, complete with salted rim. Also, I cannot wait to try the other floats mentioned in the article. There is just something about an ice cream float or sherbet float that just brings a simplicity to summer.

Prepping This Strawberry Lime Sherbet Drink for Parties

In addition to the tips above for keeping this strawberry lime sherbet drink mugs cold, you could also rim the glasses in advance and prep the fruit in advance to garnish individual glasses. This would allow you to have all but one step complete.

To party prep, roll the top 1/4 inch or so of the mugs with lime juice and then roll in course salt like sea salt or kosher salt. (See this tutorial on how to rim a glass if you aren’t sure exactly how to do it.) Then, drop in your scoops of lime sherbet to each glass. Place on top of a rimmed baking sheet. Store the baking sheets on flat shelves in the freezer until you are ready to use.

Once your party starts, you can simply remove the trays of salted mugs with sherbet from the freezer. Next, pour in the strawberry soda and add a slivered strawberry and a cute straw! Ready!
