Here you go-
4-Limes divided
1 Can (12 ounces) frozen cranberry juice concentrate
3 cups cold water
1 pint raspberry sorbet (not sherbet) softened
2 liters of chilled ginger ale
Slice two of the limes using the stupid mandoline thingy with a V-shaped blade. Set aside, pour cranberry juice and water into Family sized Quick-stir pitcher.
Juice remaining limes into pitcher, scoop sorbet into pitcher and plunge to combine... Add ginger ale and lime slices and serve over ice!
Just add the vodka along with everything else.
I didn't type this the way it is written in the seasons best because you know what PC tools to use to juice a lime for heaven's sake!

I feel like crap- maybe I should have some vodka! LOL Sorry- I was trying to type the recipe fast for you, and I'm like I am NOT typing how to use what tool and what tool to use- if the woman can't figure out how to juice a lime we have bigger issues at hand!
LOL Sorry if I offend any mandoline lovers... I love mandolines, just not ours. 
Party like it's 1999 Dor!

The doctor said not to take the meds- they were just for the off chance that I had appedicitis... I have had close to 1 gallon of water and gatorade today... I'm off to bed. Glad I could be here to help you out of a jam and post the CRF recipe for you!
The doctor's aren't too worried, they've checked the kidney's, gallbladder, female parts, bladder, and appendix... there's nothing left.

I love this recipe, too. Sometimes I make a variation for the kids, right in their glasses. I just squeeze in a little lime juice, fill the cup half-way with cranberry-raspberry juice (Ocean Spray), fill the rest with ginger ale, and plop in a scoop of raspberry sherbet (cheaper than sorbet and the kids like it better).
