What Is Lime Sherbet? 

I’m going to be honest, where I grew up in the UK, sherbet means a completely different thing so I thought it would be best to actually clarify what kind of lime sherbet you need.

I originally thought that what North Americans call sherbet is what Europeans call Sorbet but in fact, American sherbet is actually sorbet and dairy (milk or cream) together. 

Most sherbet is made with citrus fruits such as lime and orange. 

You can buy it in the freezer department of your local grocery store. 

For those of you wondering what UK sherbet is, well, its a kind of fizzy, sour candy powder that children love!

How to make a Hocus Pocus Cocktail

Before making the cocktail, prep your glass by adding crosses to rim using the black sparkle gel.

This will not harden so be careful with it when pouring the drink in.
