This was so good I had to fight the dh off for the rest of it. What a treat...sweet, tart, lemony and fruity...We enjoyed this very much. I used club soda and mango, peach and mandarin sherberts...it was so good...next time I will use different colored sherberts for a more vivid look...this makes a very pretty drink...it reminded me of old fashioned ice cream sodas. Thank you so much for sharing... we will be enjoying and sharing this treat often.

WOW, this was like the 'Sweet Tart' candies with its tart lemon mixture and the sweet sorbet. I used club soda and orange flavored sorbet. My DH liked it, I was shocked as he just likes his food plain. (Boring) Thanks for sharing this recipe. Made for Zaar Tag 2006
