June Bug on the Rocks



Jed was recently flipping through our free Better Homes and Gardens magazine when he came across this yummy recipe.

3 cups Ginger Ale
4 TBSP Grenadine
4 TBSP Orange Juice (we've used freshly squeezed from an orange, and store bought)
3 scoops Orange Sherbet*

Blend and serve over ice.

*What's with Orange Sherbet these days? It was my ice cream of choice as a kid, but here are my last two times buying it:
  1. I have to look up and down the freezer aisle, open the freezer door, step up into the freezer and reach to the very back of the top shelf to get the last carton of orange sherbet. Not just a certain brand... the only orange sherbet carton in the store.
  2. At a different store, they have no orange sherbet. Jed is waiting at home for me to bring it home so he can make more June Bugs. I have to drive to another store (not the one from example 1 because I know I already cleared them out a couple days earlier) and wipe the frost off the carton of Orange Sherbet they have stockpiles of, but all covered in a quarter inch of frost.
