Actually looking at it closer it looks almost exactly like a sorbet.


Italian ice, also known as water ice, is a sweetened frozen dessert made with fruit (often from concentrates, juices or purées) or other natural or artificial food flavorings, similar to sorbet. Italian ice is not shaved ice that is flavored; rather, it is made by the same process by which ice cream is made: freezing the ingredients while mixing them. Italian ice differs from sorbet in that it does not contain dairy or egg ingredients, other than egg white. Common flavors include blue raspberry, cherry, lemon, mango, orange, strawberry, and watermelon, with numerous other flavors available.

Yeah, people have no idea what water ice is over here. They were confused when I asked if there was Rita's near by.

I don't really care about snow cones and sorbet either, water ice is just a really stupid name. Also technically I am an East Coaster.

See here is my issue with the name water ice.

Here is ice water:

Ice is made out of frozen water, that means that water ice is "water, frozen water". Calling it something like "sweet ice" or something along those lines would make substantially more sense since it is ice (frozen water) with some sort of flavour (that I assume is sweet) from what I can tell.

I guarantee if you were eating a Rita's water ice right now, you wouldn't care what they called it.

What can you compare it to? Sorbet is alright but I can clearly taste the dairy in it.

It can be spelled differently but it's pronounced sorbet as in SOR.BAY

In the United States, sorbet and sherbet are different products. For Americans, sherbet is the more widely known term and typically designates a fruity flavored frozen dairy product with a butterfat content between 1 and 2%. Sorbet, on the other hand, is considered by Americans to be a fruity frozen product with no dairy content, similar to Italian ice.

Sherbet in the United States must include dairy ingredients such as milk or cream to reach a milkfat content between 1% and 2%. Products with higher milkfat content of 10% or higher are defined as ice cream, while those between 2% and 10% milkfat are termed "frozen dairy dessert"; products with lower milkfat content and not using any milk or cream ingredients, and no egg ingredients other than the egg white, are defined as water ice. The use of the term "sorbet" is unregulated and is most commonly used with non-dairy, fruit juice "italian ice" products. Although some people may interchange the terms "sorbet" and "sherbet", usual usage by Americans and the manufacturers of these products bears a clear distinction.
