I haven’t had a wine cooler since the 80’s when Bartles & Jaymes were at their heyday. I didn’t even realize they were still being made until I came across a display case stacked with beautiful bluebottles of the Seagram’s wine coolers at the supermarket which I bought for a dollar each along with some black seedless grapes and a quart of vanilla ice cream and made an adult ice cream soda. I froze the grapes for about 15 minutes before muddling about 10 of them in the bottom of a big glass. 

Here’s my recipe for a boozy, beautiful blue ice cream soda for adults made with frozen grapes muddled with wine coolers and ice cream.
