'A Glass Of Sherbert'

[barry1010]

Another thread where TTT said 'I'd do it for a glass of sherbert' got me thinking about this phrase. 

I've looked online and it seems 'sherbert' can be cockney rhyming slang for cab/taxi (sherbert dib dab, but I'm sure that didn't come on to the market until the late 60s)

It can also be cockney rhyming slang for 'sip' (sherbert dip), but you wouldn't say 'I'll have a glass of sip'.

Alternatively, according to the internet, it is a popular word in London for alcoholic drink taken from the Turkish drink sherbet.

Is 'a glass of sherbert' a common phrase anywhere in the country?

In relation to drink, I've seen or heard it used as in, "a sherbert" or "a few sherbets" but never a glass of it.

That's right, Corby.  Never 'a glass'.

Same as that, Corby

Sherbet isn't exclusive to London. I heard it years ago and I'm a Manc. Sherbet Dabs have always been around  as far as I can remember. Right folks, I'm off for a Sherbet! Byeeeee!
