Our sherbet glass is inspired by the dairy confection popular in the US.
Sherbet is a product enjoyed for centuries throughout Europe and Asia.
In America, sherbet is a fruity dairy product with 2% butterfat while sorbet is fruity but non-dairy similar to Italian Ice.
In Turkey, a person who prepares and serves Sharbat is called a Serbetci.
On their backs they carry a large brass flask with a long nozzle and drinking glasses held in a sash.
Serbetci serve their sharbat by bending forward and filling a glass from over the shoulder.
In Turkey, once the dowry is agreed to, a groom’s family arrives at the bride’s house bringing an ibrik of Sharbat for the future bride to drink as a sign of the grooms acceptance.
