A fun adaptation of the classic Raspberry Lime Rickey soda fountain drink!

This float is so easy to make and is just as refreshing as the soda fountain drink.

LIME RICKEY FLOAT WITH HOMEMADE RASPBERRY SAUCE

notes:

Place your float glasses in the freezer when you start to make raspberry sauce so when you are ready to assemble your floats you have frosted glasses!
you can also use raspberry and lime sherbet together.
Raspberry sauce will thicken a little once it cools down.
