3 tablespoons sugar, or more to taste
1 cup sparkling water
1 scoop lime sherbet or sorbet

Preparation

    Put the lime juice and 3 tablespoons sugar in a small pitcher. Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar dissolves. Add the sparkling water and stir until mixed. Taste and add more sugar, if desired.

    Step 3

    Using an ice cream scoop, scoop up the sherbet and drop it into a tall glass. Pour in the lime water. Serve immediately.

    Step 4

    Variation: You can substitute rainbow sherbet or lemon sorbet for the lime sherbet.
