 Peach + Ginger Ale Float

Take your mock-tail game to the next level with this cool and refreshing CBD infused sorbet float from the book, Edibles by Stephanie Hua and Coreen Carroll.   The sorbet is particularly good in summertime when nectar-sweet, ripe peaches are at the ready. A zing of lime juice perks these up, and fragrant basil adds a subtle floral herbaceousness. If you’re lucky enough to find purple basil (sometimes called opal basil), snag it—those deep purple leaves make a spectacular garnish. (Chronicle Books, 2018.)
