Summer Sparkler & Old Time Soda Floats

We're happy to welcome back Natalie Mikles with the Made in Oklahoma Coalition doing a Summer Sparkler.

Summer Sparkler

Description: This chilled Summer Sparkler is light and fresh and made with Hiland Raspberry Sorbet. The rose wine helps to cut some of the sweetness for a sophisticated drink.

Ingredients:

1/2 gallon Hiland Dairy Raspberry Sherbet

1 (12-oz) can of frozen pink lemonade concentrate

2 cans OKC Soda Co. Lemon Lime Soda, chilled

4 cups (1 quart) rose wine, chilled

Description:

1. Set out sherbet so it's slightly softened before making the drinks.

2. In a 2-quart size pitcher, combine pink lemonade concentrate, soda and wine. Stir to combine.

3. Pour into individual sugar-rimmed glasses. Add a scoop of sherbet to each glass. Stir, or leave the sherbet on top. Garnish with fresh Scissortail Farms mint or raspberries. Also good served over crushed ice.

Old Time Soda Floats

Description: A soda float is the best of both worlds-fizzy and creamy. These sweet drinks are a perfect summer treat. We love using local soda from OKC Soda Co., made in Oklahoma City, and Okola-homa Soda, made in Edmond.

Ingredients:

1 Carton Hiland Vanilla Ice Cream

6 cans soda from Okola-homa Soda or OKC Soda Co. Soda (Flavors include Root Beer, Orange, Cream Soda, Strawberry, Cherry and more!)

Hiland Whipped Cream

Fresh Fruit for Garnish

Directions:

1. Dish generous portions of ice cream into 6 large chilled mugs or glasses.

2. Pour a can of soda over the top of each mug, allowing it to settle a little and fill.

3. Top with whipped topping and garnish with fruit.
