Wine Cooler

Wine Cooler is a wine-based cocktail that was created in the USA in the mid-20th century. It was traditionally a home-made drink that was served at yard parties, but due to its low alcohol content, it gained popularity in the early 1980s as a favorite cocktail at sorority parties and barbecues. The cocktail is made with a combination of wine, sugar, soda, juices of fruits such as lime, lemon, grapefruit, or pineapple, and a lot of ice.

Either white or red berry wine can be included in the mix, and people usually prefer the cheapest variety because the flavors of wine are masked by the sweetness of other ingredients. After all of the ingredients have been combined in a mixing glass, Wine Cooler is usually served on the rocks in a cocktail glass, a yard glass, or even in a bottle.
