Lime Freeze (Milk Shake)

Lime Freeze (Milk Shake)

One of my fondest memories is of these WONDERFUL frozen treats! I used to walk down to our neighborhood pharmacy, now sadly closed, on hot Summer days and order one of these cool, delicious Lime Freezes 🙂 They are truly one of my all-time favorites and I was bound and determined to reproduce the recipe…I think this is as close as I’m going to get! It’s quick and easy to make and only requires 3 ingredients! Enjoy 🙂

  • 3-4 Large Ice Cream Scoops Lime Sherbet (I think Orange Sherbet would be delicious, too!)
  • 1 Large Ice Cream Scoop Vanilla Ice Cream
  • 3/4 Cup Diet Lemon Lime Soda (Sprite or any other type of Lemon-Lime Soda available; You can also use regular (instead of diet); add a splash at a time if you want a thinner version)
  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Serve with a dollop of Cool Whip and a wedge of Lime for garnish 🙂
