3 limes

3 tablespoons sugar, or more to taste

1 cup sparkling water

1 scoop lime sherbet or sorbet

1. Place 1 lime on the cutting board and cut it in half. Squeeze the juice

from each half into a measuring cup. Repeat with the remaining limes

until you have 1/4 cup juice.

2. 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.

3. Using a ice cream scoop, scoop up the sherbet and drop it into

a tall glass. Pour in the lime water. Serve immediately.

Makes one serving.

Variation: You can substitute rainbow sherbet

or lemon sorbet for the lime sherbet.
