1. Chill your glass by placing it in the freezer for 10–15 minutes to keep the drink colder for longer. Use a tall soda float glass or wine glass for a visually appealing presentation.
2. Scoop 2–3 scoops of rainbow sherbet into the glass. Layer the colorful scoops for a delightful and vibrant appearance. Feel free to use single-flavor sherbet for a more uniform option.
3. Slowly pour your chosen bubbly beverage, such as Sprite, ginger ale, or pink champagne, over the sherbet. Watch the fizz rise to create a frothy, cloud-like effect. Pour carefully to prevent any overflow.
4. Add garnishes for extra flair, such as Rainbow Airheads Extreme candy belts, Skittles, fresh fruit slices, whipped cream, or a festive paper umbrella to complete the look.
5. Serve immediately with a straw and spoon, allowing everyone to enjoy both the creamy sherbet and the fizzy drink together.
6. If serving for a crowd, pre-scooping the sherbet and freezing the scoops on a parchment-lined tray can save time and minimize melting during preparation.
7. Balance the ratio of beverage to sherbet, aiming for a 3:1 proportion, but adjust according to your preference for a thicker or lighter float.
8. Always serve the Rainbow Sherbet Float fresh to maintain its creamy consistency and bubbly fizziness for the best flavor and visual appeal.
