St. Timothy’s Sherbet Punch

I got this idea in my head watching The Bishop's Wife (1947), the story of an angel played by Cary Grant who's trying to save a self-imporant young bishop from losing sight of what's important. In the movie, there's rag-tag children's choir at the little inner-city parish of St. Timothy's (the bishop's former post); given that sherbet punch is thoroughly postwar, I thought the kids in the choir would appreciate this one, and so might the kids in your world! I also made it balanced to please those adults who aren't partaking.

INGREDIENTS

1½ oz. pineapple juice
1 oz. cranberry juice
¾ oz. lime juice
½ oz raspberry syrup
1½ oz. ginger beer

Sherbet, softened, to garnish


ABV LEVEL

Combine pineapple, cranberry, and lime juices and raspberry syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add ice, shake and strain into a 10-oz. footed glass. Top with 1½ oz. ginger beer. Add pebble ice, leaving room for sherbet. Top with a small scoop of softened sherbet and serve with straw and a small spoon.
