Red wine ice cream floats are a thing and obviously we need one RIGHT NOW

Here are a few things that are good:

-A breezy day at the beach

-A deep conversation with a friend who truly understands you

-Finding a vintage dress that fits you perfectly AND is on sale

-Sex

And here is one REALLY good thing that is WAY better than all those other good things:

-A red wine ice cream float

You guys, this is not a drill. BKW, a new restaurant in Brooklyn is offering a red wine ice cream float that combines equal parts red wine and cola with a scoop of gelato. It sounds ridiculously decadent and delicious. Life-changing, actually. Here’s the lowdown via Food & Wine:

They combined their one Old Vine Zinfandel with grapes harvested from Lodi, CA, cola and Mascarpone gelato from one of the best ice cream purveyors in NYC, Il Laboratoria del Gelato, into one supreme, grown up float. The gelato is served in its own glass, while the wine and cola are served in a pitcher for the diner to pour as their will, so that the ice cream doesn’t melt.

Definitely adding this restaurant to our NYC dining bucket list.

But in the meantime, we think we’ll mix up our own version of this recipe — $2 Trader Joe’s wine and Breyer’s might not be quite as glamorous, but on a hot summer evening, it will do just fine.
