Ingredients

For the Lemongrass & Lime Syrup
1 stalk lemon grass
2 limes
4 ounces water (1/2 cup)
4 ounces sugar (1/2 cup plus 1 T)
Lime in the Coconut Float
1 to 1 & 1/2 tablespoons lemongrass & lime syrup
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 scoops coconut sorbet (about 1/2 cup total)
seltzer, cold

Directions

1

Thinly slice lemongrass and set aside. With a vegetable peeler remove the lime zest in strips trying to avoid getting much white pith. Set aside. Juice the limes and set juice aside for making the soda.
2

Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat on high, stirring or swirling occasionally to dissolve sugar until it boils. Boil for 30 to 60 seconds.
3

Remove from heat. Add the lemongrass and lime zest, cover with a tight fitting lid, and allow to cool to room temperature. Pour through a mesh strainer into a glass jar. Cover and store in the refrigerator.
4

Combine syrup and lime juice in a 12-oz glass. Add sorbet. Slowly pour seltzer over the sorbet, it with froth up pretty fiercely. Stir gently after glass is about 2/3 full. Continue to slowly fill glass with seltzer. Serve immediately with a straw.
