Lime Sherbet Floats | St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Float

February 18, 2020 by Nicole 5 Comments

Lime Sherbet Floats are a quick and easy green treat for St. Patrick’s Day. My kids especially love the Rainbow (Airheads Extreme candy) I put on top! Make this St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Float a holiday tradition at your house, too.

How do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? It’s pretty low-key here at my house. I make sure the kids wear green to school so they don’t get pinched. BTW, I think pinching is the WORST tradition EVER for a holiday! Ouch!

We’re keeping our celebration simple with an Irish corn beef dinner made in the Instant Pot and Lime Sherbet Rainbow Floats for St. Patrick’s Day dessert. It’s fun to have an excuse to eat sweet treats.

One nice thing about St. Patrick’s Day floats is that they are so easy to make, even at the last minute. In fact, you don’t want to make them ahead of time or they will melt. The only prep you need to do is make sure you have the ingredients: Lime Sherbet, Sprite (or your favorite Lemon-Lime flavored soda), and Rainbow Airheads Extreme candy belts.

If for some reason you can’t find the Rainbow Airhead Extreme candy, you can sprinkle another rainbow-colored candy like Skittles on top of the Lime Sherbet Floats. Or, you can simply leave out the rainbow. GREEN is the official color of St. Patrick’s Day so this Lime Sherbet recipe works with or without the rainbow.

    This float looks delicious! I love the rainbow added to it. What is it with the pinching> I just don’t get that “tradition”

    Definitely will need to make one of these for my hubby. His birthday was yesterday (St. Patrick’s Day) but I think he’ll still take one of this tacked on to the celebrations LOL
