A frozen STARBURST™ Strawberry Sorbet Bar served in a chilled, sparkling limeade drink makes the perfect “cooling-off” treat on a hot summer’s day!
I’ll never turn down a limeade-especially when the temperatures soar high outside like they have for the past while here. I feel like I’m constantly parched and am ever on the lookout for a yummy remedy.
The other day I had a light bulb moment and decided to combine a refreshing STARBURST™ Sorbet Bar with one of my favorite drinks to see what came of it. I think the photos below will tell you that it was a screaming success! I love when that happens, don’t you?
It’s the type of drink that lends itself to what would normally be seen as ill-mannered behaviors (i.e. slurping). Except in this case, people won’t look at you weird because they’ll wish they were slurping on one too.
{STRAWBERRY SORBET LIMEADE}
1 pkg. STARBURST™ Strawberry Sorbet Limeade Bars
2 liter Sparkling Limeade Drink (I found mine at Walmart)
Fresh limes for squeezing and slicing
Simply pour a bit of sparkling limeade into your cup, filling it just under 2/3. Squeeze a little fresh lime juice into it if you’d like, insert a yummy STARBURST™ Strawberry Sorbet Bar, and enjoy! I like to add some fresh lime slices inside the drink and on the edge of the cup to pretty things up even more.
Look at that…the happy pink bar is swimming in limeade and making delicious foam as it melts! A Strawberry Limeade Float might have also been an appropriate name for it. I appreciated the show, but my taste buds were eager to experience it first-hand. So I humored them without complaint. 🙂
We have a running debate at our house as to whether the red or pink STARBURST™ are the best. I vote pink, hands down, but my husband leans towards the red. So you can imagine how excited I was when I saw a pink STARBURST™ in sorbet form the other day while I was in the frozen treats aisle at Walmart. Ha! I win! Multi-packs of STARBURST™ Brand Sorbet Bars are also available at other select grocery stores as well as convenience stores nationwide.
Find them in 2.6-ounce 4-Packs for $3.99 and 2.6-ounce singles for $1.49 each. You can bet I’ll be adding these to the regular list of “summer must-haves” going forward.
These new STARBURST™ Brand Sorbet Bars further boast Mars’ already popular ice cream portfolio, which includes DOVEBAR®, TWIX® and SNICKERS® Ice Cream Bars. My mouth is literally watering as I type.
However I choose to eat them-in a limeade or on their own-they are simply fantastic! They’re light and refreshing and the perfect size for a quick treat that won’t melt before it can be enjoyed. And they’re made even better by the fact that each bar is only 70 calories! How great is that?
The bars were a welcome sight after a very sweaty outing to the botanical gardens the other day. If you could zoom way in on this photo you’d see the glistening beads on the kids’ faces and their wet, matted hair. We had a blast, but couldn’t wait to get back to our air-conditioned house and some cool STARBURST™ Strawberry Sorbet Bars afterwards.
I could totally see the drink/sorbet bar combination served at a potluck or summer party too! The bars add a lovely color and an exhilarating burst of strawberry flavor to the limeade drink as they melt. Mmmmmmm! They’re sure to “wow guests.
If you’ll be hosting a fun gathering where these cups of lusciousness will make an appearance, be sure to download and print your free Summer Sippin’ Printable Here. Then simply attach them to some fun striped paper straws with baker’s twine or other cute string. They add a fun element to an already delectable and gorgeous dessert.
