Frozen Beverages, Such as Water Ices, Sherbets, and Frozen Punches
Certain distinctions have been made in water ices. The varieties made with fruit juice, water, and sugar only are called water ices. Those with the addition of the whites of eggs are called sherbets.
Sherbets which are of a smooth, fine texture, but only half frozen, are sometimes called sorbets.
Water ices only half frozen, without stirring, and having a rough, icy texture, are called granites.
Frozen punches are made by adding liquor to the ices either before or after freezing.
