There is a gelato store in my cute Florida downtown that serves wine floats and it is something I have been meaning to try. I always like to come up with a fun adult cocktail for Halloween and drawing on one of the flavors they serve, I decided to give it a try at home. The red wine makes it sufficiently spooky and the chocolate ice cream is a good substitute for Halloween candy.
Here is how I made it.
In a stemless wine glass, place 2 small scoops of chocolate ice cream. Fill about 3/4 full with red wine. I used a Cabernet Sauvignon, but a Pinot Noir would be delicious as well. Top with club soda for a bit of fizz. As the ice cream melts, like with any good ice cream float, the flavors compliment each other and become creamy and rich. Treat yourself tomorrow to a grown up halloween treat with this deliciousness.
Happy Halloween!
