Shrubs served in colonial days were fruit-based drinks liberally spiked with brandy or rum. Today cooks usually leave the spirits out so they can enjoy the refreshing taste of the fruit.

You Will Need
4 cups (2 pints) raspberry sherbert, softened
3 cups cranberry juice cocktail
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 cups chilled ginger ale (24 ounces)

What to Do
1. Spoon half of the sherbert into a blender. Pour in half of the cranberry juice and half of the lemon juice. Process until smooth. Pour into 6 glasses. Repeat with remaining sherbert, remaining cranberry juice and remaining lemon juice.

2. Carefully pour some of the ginger ale down the side of each glass. Stir to muddle slightly.
