Etymology

The word 'sherbet' derives from the Arabic 'sharba', which means a drink. The term was adopted into Middle French as 'sorbet' before reaching English. Originally, it referred to a sweetened drink made from fresh fruit juices and herbs, often served chilled. Over time, it evolved into a frozen dessert that combines fruit flavors with a creamy texture. By the 19th century, sherbet had found its place in America and became popular at social gatherings and celebrations. Variations of sherbet can now be found worldwide, often featuring local fruit flavors and ingredients.
