Red Wine Ice Cream Floats

A yummy wine infused adult twist on an iconic childhood dessert.

  • Add two large scoops of the ice cream to the glass. Top the ice cream with 3 more cherries.
  • Fill the glass up with red wine about an inch from the top. Stick a straw in the drink and top with another scoop of ice cream.
