my favorite "frozen treat"

About the grape thing:

Frozen grapes cool down sangria.

Frozen grapes:

Ever since becoming of legal drinking age, I have been a big fan of sangria. I went to college in the Walla Walla Valley in Eastern Washington and during the time I was there, it was becoming one of the biggest and most lauded wine regions in the country. Drinkable wine was cheap and easy to come by, and we would often mixed it up with whatever fruit was in season (the peaches, plums and apricots are amazing right now), a little brandy or other liqueur, maybe a few cinnamon sticks or cloves if we were using a red and a couple of glugs of sparkling water.

The only challenge was to keep it cool without watering it down. One day I was struck with a brainstorm--frozen grapes! They were the perfect cooling package, as they froze well and wouldn't dilute the concoction as they melted. On hot days, they make a really nice, slushy, boozy, sweet treat at the bottom of the glass.

(I guess you can suck on them and then they might thaw in you're mouth like an Popsicle)

I can't remember what's in it exactly, but I think it's Vanilla, Fudge, and Bailey's Irish Cream Liquor. Whatever it was, it took my taste buds to pleasure town.

another good thing to do to the grapes is put them in a glass of fresh water and fill the glass with ice. leave it for 3-5 mins. when you come back they will be really sweet tasting.
