Wine Float Recipe
Serves 4
Ingredients-
1 pint ice cream
1 bottle (750mL) Missouri wine
16 oz of club soda
1 cup fruit
Directions-
You can use any glassware you’d like as long as it is can accommodate 16 ounces or so; mason jars work for a fun presentation. To assemble the wine floats, scoop approximately ½ cup of ice cream (this is usually about 2 scoops) into each of the glasses. Pour 4-6 oz. of wine and 3-4 oz of club soda into each of the glasses, alternating a couple of times. This helps mix the float without melting the ice cream too fast. Top your dessert cocktail with fruit and serve with a straw and a spoon. Enjoy!
Wine Milkshakes are almost as easy as wine floats, the biggest difference being the blender. You’ll need ice cream and wine. Fruit, whip cream and other mix-ins are an optional addition.
Wine Milkshake Recipe
Serves 2-4 (depending on how thick you like your milkshakes)
Ingredients
1 pint ice cream
1-2 cups Missouri Wine (Chilled!)
1 cup fruit or other mix-ins (Optional)
Directions:
Scoop ice cream into the blender and add wine 1/2 cup at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. Pour into glassware of your choice. Top with whip cream and a cherry (optional), and serve with a straw. Enjoy!
*Pro-Tip: Put your glasses or mason jars in the freezer ahead of time. This will keep your frozen treat cold longer.
Flavor Combinations we recommend:
- Chocolate Ice Cream + Chambourcin Wine + Strawberries
- Mango Sorbet + Vignoles Wine + Pineapple
- Vanilla Ice Cream + Concord Wine + Raspberries or Black Grapes
- Vanilla Ice Cream + Vidal Blanc Wine + Melon
- Dark Chocolate Ice Cream Wine + Norton + Cherries
- Vanilla Ice Cream + Sweet Sparkling Wine + Raspberries (If you use this combo for a float, you can skip the club soda and replace it with additional sparkling wine.)
Missouri wine pairs well with ice cream floats and milkshakes!
