Fruity Frappe

I found this recipe years ago and am now copying it here from our family cookbook binder. This beverage is like a fruity version of a root beer float. You can make it with any combination of flavors that you like, but the original recipe called for raspberry drink/punch, lemon-lime soda pop, raspberry sherbet and frozen raspberries, which is what we tried to recreate in the images below (although, next time, I would put in a lot more ice cream in each glass). Enjoy!

Fruity Frappe

Ingredients:

• fruit flavored drink (1 gallon)
• citrus flavored soda pop (2 lt.)
• frozen berries (1 small pkg)
• sherbet (1/2 gallon)

Directions:

1. Amounts all depend on taste and how many are being served, so play around with it to find what you prefer.  
2. Combine all ingredients in a large serving bowl until mixture resembles a float, or is smooth and frothy.  Serve immediately.

Marsha's Notes:

• You can also substitute any flavor of drink, berries, and sherbet to make what you like (strawberry, lime, etc.).
• Chris isn't a fan of anything carbonated, so you can also substitute lemonade for the citrus soda pop.
• The original recipe is really designed for a large party in a punch bowl where you hope there won't be leftovers because this drink really doesn't save well for later. Therefore, if you are doing this for a smaller group, I would recommend just getting the number of glasses that you want to fill, put a handful of frozen berries in the bottom, then your desired scoops of sherbet, then about 2/3 flavored drink to 1/3 soda pop/lemonade (or, make it adult with 1/3 sparkling wine).
• In the images below, we made this on a night where we also had a fun homemade dessert option, so I didn't want the drink to be overly "dessert-y" with too much ice cream in it. However, it is much tastier with more sherbet.
• I would recommend stirring the sherbet into the drink mix a little bit to get it out of one big ice cream clump to make it easier to drink. Then top with your carbonated beverage so you don't stir out all of the bubbles. Frappe tends to be a blended drink, so you could also try blending up all or parts of the drink to get what you like.
