From slushies to floats: Adult versions of nostalgic drinks
Remember your favorite childhood drink? Was it a float? A slushy? If so, your adulthood just got a little sweeter! Erin Edds, Co-Founder of Garden Party Botanical Hard Soda, shows us some nostalgic adult versions that just might make you feel like a kid all over again!
Garden Party Float
1 scoop of Ice Cream
1 oz liqueur of choice
6 oz Garden Party
Top with whipped cream and berries
Violet Frose (frozen Rose)
4 Cans of Garden Party Violet
1 bottle of dry Rose (or Mallow Run Rhubarb Wine)
Pour ingredients together in a large metal bowl and freeze for at least 4 hours
Use an ice cream scoop to portion out the slushy into serving bowls
Makes 8 servings
Garden Party Summer Jigglers
2 cans of Garden Party Ruby
Pinch of salt
4 packages of gelatin
2 cups wine, divided
1/2 cup raspberries
1/2 cup blueberries
½ cup of granulated sugar
Toss the fruit in granulated sugar and refrigerate. Heat wine until just about boiling. Add pinch of salt. Meanwhile, let the gelatin soak in 1 can of Garden Party for a few minutes. Stir wine into the Garden Party mixture until gelatin is dissolved. Add remaining Garden Party. Pour into 11 x 7 baking dish.
Refrigerate for 90 minutes and then gently add fruit to the top so it doesn’t completely sink. Refrigerate for an additional 4 hours.
