Chilling the Heat

If you are looking to cool off this summer, try this.

Get a bottle of cheap champagne*. I prefer brut or extra dry from Trader Joes.

Get a pint of orange sorbet. Sherbet could also work.**

Make Champagne Sorbet Floats!

It's fun! It's cold! It's intoxicating! The perfect summer drink.

The hipster drink this summer would be the Minnesota Beer Float. It's Hamms with a scoop of Land-o-Lakes ice cream. The idea sickens me.

* I know, real champagne doesn't come in a cheap variety. I'm actually talking about sparkling wine.

** Sherbet will have dairy or eggs in it. I would advise against the egged variety but you could possibly get away with the dairy kind. I have tried this with other flavors of sorbet and have determined that orange is the best. It's like a mimosa, but better.
