Remember those summer days as a kid, chasing after the ice cream truck? The thrill of choosing between endless flavors, but always landing on rainbow sherbet? That tangy, fruity goodness? I wanted to bottle that joy, that carefree feeling. So, naturally, I thought... lemonade! But not just any lemonade. Rainbow Sherbet Lemonade. And let me tell ya, it's a game changer. It's like sunshine in a glass, with a little party thrown in for good measure. I made it last weekend when my friend Sarah came over. She'd been having a rough week at work—stressful deadlines, the usual. One sip of this, and her whole face lit up. It's amazing how something so simple can be so effective. Also, this is my go-to drink when hosting a bbq with friends!
This recipe is seriously easy, even a total klutz like myself can nail it, trust me, I've had my share of kitchen fails. We're talking simple ingredients, minimal fuss, maximum flavor. And the best part? You can totally customize it. Add more sherbet for extra sweetness, or more lemon for a bigger pucker. Throw in some fresh berries for an extra pop of color and flavor. The possibilities are endless! One thing I messed up last time: I didn't strain it well enough, and ended up with some sherbet chunks. Still tasted great, but wasn't the prettiest. Learn from my mistakes, people!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: You'll need rainbow sherbet (about 1 pint), fresh lemons (4-6, depending on size), sugar (1/2 cup, adjust to taste), and water (4 cups). It’s always good to have extra lemon slices for garnish too!
- Juice the lemons: Squeeze those lemons until you have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. I use a citrus juicer, but you can totally do it by hand. Just make sure to pick out any seeds! Nobody wants a crunchy lemonade.
- Make a simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let it cool slightly. This simple syrup ensures your lemonade isn't grainy.
- Combine the lemon juice and simple syrup: In a large pitcher, pour the lemon juice and simple syrup. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust the sweetness as needed. If it's too tart, add more simple syrup; if it's too sweet, add more lemon juice.
- Add the remaining water: Pour in the remaining 3 cups of water and stir gently. Be careful not to splash!
- Add the rainbow sherbet: Scoop the rainbow sherbet into the pitcher. It's gonna fizz a little, that's totally normal! Stir gently until the sherbet is mostly melted and evenly distributed. Don’t over-stir, or it'll get too frothy. It should look kinda swirly and magical.
- Chill: Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial, trust me. Cold lemonade is happy lemonade.
- Serve: Pour the Rainbow Sherbet Lemonade into glasses filled with ice. Garnish with lemon slices and maybe even a little sprig of mint if you're feeling fancy. Enjoy immediately!
