I can only assume that like Beer, sherbert powder makes a gassy lemon drink. Gassy being the operative word

It is? I've never heard beer or lager referred to as sherbet.

Hi there.
Sherbert is the drink of paradise, promised by Allah to the faithful in the after life. Soldiers who had served in the east brought the word back with them. In ancient Greece nectar was the drink of the gods, likewise adapted by literate types to refer to "the amber nectar" - similar thing.
Cheers, Steve.

It probably goes back to the 40s or 50s when lager was first introduced,male beer drinkers did not feel it was a "mans" drink and asked the best way to drink lager,some one probably said "with lemonade".

Well, there is a certain type of person who will use anything but the proper name for things, even if it is more trouble.
