Make Your Own Wine Coolers


My husband and I decided to make some homemade wine.  We got an old whiskey barrel from someone who worked at the Seagrams distillery and went on a hunt for grapes.  We got some from a friend and a local winery.  After finally coming up with a recipe for the wine, we worked in the garage all evening adding grapes, sugar, etc.  We let the wine sit and age then decided to give it a try. WOW!  It tasted realllllly strong.  (It may be because we aged it in whiskey barrel!)  So... that is how I came to find this recipe, basically out of necessity.  Using this recipe, the wine was actually good. 2 cups wine 2 cups tonic water 1/4 cup lime juice 1/2 cup sugar water Sugar water: 1 1/2 cup sugar dissolved in 3 cups water Mix all ingredients and chill.
