What better way to cool off in the middle of a summer heat wave than with sparkling sorbet floats topped with fruit?
Not only are they really easy to make, if using a nonfat sorbet… they are a refreshing, nonfat dessert!
We added the bubbles with Sparkling Ice, which is an incredibly popular drink among my daughter and her friends lately (it also helps that a brand new grocery store down the street carries a wide range of flavors).
Not pictured are three girls anxiously awaiting these floats.
If you were hosting a larger group of people, I would recommend making this a sorbet bar with multiple Sparkling Ice, sorbet and fruit options. Place the sorbet on ice and let everyone create their own flavor combinations.
Sparkling Sorbet Float Flavor Combinations

The flavor combinations are potentially endless. We decided to run with a color theme.
Sparkling Ice Orange Mango (my favorite)
Mango sorbet
Sliced peaches
Sparkling Ice Kiwi Strawberry (my daughter’s favorite)
Lime sorbet
Kiwi slices
Sparkling Ice Strawberry Watermelon
Pear hibiscus sorbet
Whole strawberries
All you need to do is place a few scoops of sorbet into a glass and pour a tiny bit of Sparkling Ice on top. Then top with fruit. Eat with a spoon but have straws handy because you’ll want to drink the Sparkling Ice with melted sorbet in it. Yum.

How to Make Easy Sparkling Sorbet Floats

Ingredients
- Sparkling Ice in flavor of your choice
- Sorbet
- Sliced fruit
Instructions
- Scoop sorbet into glass.
- Slowly pour Sparkling Ice down the side of the glass. If poured directly on top of the sorbet, it will melt faster than you may like.
- Add sliced fruit on top.
- Serve right away with a straw and a spoon
It’s really delicious. Truly. This is my last in a series of post about how to Flavor Up your summer with Sparkling Ice, which has been a ton of fun. For more inspiration, be sure to also check out:
