Friday Freeze

This sounds like more of a drink for summer but it's pretty freezing outside already so here it is, the Friday Freeze. 
Also, sounds a little fussy to make.

4 scoops Orange Sherbet
1 cup Orange Juice
1/2 cup Vodka
1/4 cup Rum

Blend all ingredients in blender at highest speed.  Consistency of the mix should be "semi-thick" (not so thick that a spoon would stand by itself in the mix, but not as thin as juice). If the mix is too thin, add more sherbet, if too thick, add equal amount of juice and alcohol. 
Pour into glass and place into freezer for fifteen minutes.
Serve in a white wine glass.
