How to Make an Acai Soda Drink

Looking for an refreshing and healthy summer beverage idea to help beat the heat? Look no further than this simple açai flavored drink, which you can prepare in minutes to create a tasty and trendy change of pace.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Haagen Dazs Reserve Brazilian Açai Berry Sorbet - available now at most grocery stores
• Your favorite brand of lemon-lime soda/pop
• Drink glasses
• Ice

1. Pour the lemon-lime soda into a drinking glass or tumbler and fill it about three-quarters full.

2. Scoop two to three dollops of the açai berry sorbet and drop them into the soda. Each should be the same size or slightly larger than regular ice cubes.

3. Allow sorbet to melt for a moment before enjoying. If desired, gently stir the sorbet into the drink to incorporate it into the soda more quickly to give the drink a deeper color and flavor.

4. Enjoy the unique flavor of the açai berry sorbet with each sip of the fizzy soda or, if you're not in the mood to wait for it to melt, scoop it out with a spoon to enjoy in between sips! Stay cool!

Tips & Warnings

• Not a fan of lemon-lime soda? Try substituting lemonade for a tart twist.
• Adults may enjoy kicking drink this up with splash of vodka or other spirit.
• If you want your drink colder and slushy, add shaved or crushed ice.
• Açai is pronounced “Ah-Sigh-EE”.
• Dollop - a shapeless mass or blob of something, especially soft food
