SHERBET

a term which, in this country, is generally used to designate ices in which liquors or fruit juices are used for flavoring. Also, though not so frequently, a fruit beverage similar to lemonade. The name comes from the east and applies there to various kinds of fruit beverages, frequently scented with rose water or some other odor and flavored with spices, much consumed by Mohammedans, who are forbidden by the Koran to drink intoxicating liquors. In other countries the name is loosely applied to many beverages, several of them containing rum, currant wine, etc.
