    [one_half]Tropical Blackberry Float[/one_half][one_half_last]Simply put - This. Is. Delicious! You will wish you didn't eat so much for dinner when you try this Tropical Blackberry Float. It is refreshing, packed full of flavor and like a little tropical party right in your mouth (You just might go back for seconds).   Let's get started with the homemade blackberry syrup:
    Rinse the berries and place them over medium heat in a small sauce pan on the stove.  Add the water and sugar and bring to a boil.  Once the mixture has come to a boil, mash about half of the berries but leave some whole.  Cook until sauce thickens then remove from heat to cool.  In a tall glass, with the sherbet and Sprite already in it - drizzle sauce over top.

    Don't let the simple step of making homemade blackberry syrup stop you from trying this.  I guarantee you will thank me later and realize very quickly that it only takes a few minutes to simmer down the berries to make a wonderful thick syrup that will mix into this drink in unimaginable ways.

    Get ready for the party in your mouth because this is a drink that everyone will enjoy!

    TIP: You can switch it up a bit by using raspberry sherbert and raspberry syrup.  The possibilities are endless. 

    What combination have you tried?  Let us know!

      This looks super good! Just might be the thing to cool me off when it's over 100 degrees this weekend.
