Description

The June Bug: Orange Grenadine Refresher is a vibrant and refreshing no-cook beverage perfect for warm days. Combining the fizzy sweetness of ginger ale, tangy orange juice, and rich grenadine with creamy orange sherbet creates a delightful, smooth drink that’s easy to whip up in minutes. Served chilled with an optional orange slice garnish, this mocktail is both visually appealing and delicious for casual gatherings or as a cooling treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Drink Ingredients

  • 3 cups ginger ale
  • 1/4 cup grenadine
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 & 1/3 cups orange sherbet (approximately 3 scoops)
  • Ice, as needed
  • Orange slices, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the ginger ale, grenadine, orange juice, and orange sherbet into a blender.
  2. Blend Smoothly: Blend all ingredients until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring the sherbet is fully incorporated.
  3. Serve Chilled: Pour the blended mixture over glasses filled with ice to keep it refreshingly cold.
  4. Stir Before Drinking: Since the drink will naturally separate over time, gently stir before serving to mix the flavors evenly again.
  5. Garnish: Optionally, add orange slices to the rim or into the glass for an attractive presentation and added citrus aroma.

Notes

  • This is a no-cook recipe, ideal for quick preparation and instant refreshment.
  • Use freshly squeezed orange juice for a brighter citrus flavor.
  • You can substitute orange sherbet with a dairy-free sherbet to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
  • Keep the drink chilled and consume immediately for best taste and texture.
  • Adjust grenadine to suit your preferred sweetness level.
