5 min Easy Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 2 litres 7-Up or lemonade
  • 2 litres lime sherbet
  • 3 cans fruit cocktail, drained
  • Lime slices

Method

  1. Mix everything together in a large bowl.
  2. Serve chilled in tall glasses with straws and dessert spoons — there's fruit in the bottom.
  3. Use ripe fresh fruit instead of tinned if you have it. Melon, pineapple, peach and papaya all work.

Questions people ask about Party Sherbet

How long does Party Sherbet take?

About 5 minutes from starting to sitting down, and it is straightforward. That is start-to-finish, so it works on a weeknight when you have not planned anything.

Can I make Party Sherbet ahead of time?

You can prepare it a few hours ahead and reheat gently. It keeps two days in the fridge, though it is best on the day.

Is Party Sherbet vegetarian?

Yes, and as written it is vegan too. Check your specific brands if that matters to you.

How long does home-made party sherbet keep?

Best made and drunk the same day. Anything blended with fruit separates within a couple of hours, so stir or shake it before pouring.
