If a long, hot Texas summer is on your horizon, you may want to plan for some time to kick back and relax. To be honest, there doesn’t seem to be any better way to do that than with a red wine float. Yes, you read that right. Winos will generally tell you that wine goes with anything, but in truth, this drink truly doesn’t make perfect sense!
Texas is known for two very unique things for which folks have fond memories. One is Blue Bell Ice Cream, which comes from the illustrious Lone Star State, and there hasn’t been a summer day that wasn’t made 10 times better with some of their cool, delicious flavors. The other, of course, is wine. If you haven’t yet tried a wine that’s made in Texas, you’re absolutely missing the boat! And you need a boat to float… but we digress. Traditionally, one would make a float using their favorite cola, root beer, or even Dr Pepper (because, hey…Texas!). But the concept of mixing wine and ice cream is something new to most, and may take a little coaxing. If you’re making these for friends, be prepared to at first have to convince your crew it’s the right thing to do. Once you’ve done that, half the battle is won! The other half will be all downhill once they’ve tasted this delicious, almost sensual (we’re not kidding) amalgamation of ice cream, chocolate, and wine love.
