Perfect Presentation Platters

These Red Wine Floats look pretty in just about any glass! Here are some of our favorite deals:

Glasses: I used these Stemless Glasses for Walmart that are a great deal!

Paper Straws: This multi-colored pack is so cute and adds a little extra to any drink!

Patriotic Accessories: If you’re making these for the 4th of July, my Amazon storefront has tons of goodies for just about any occasion.

Checkered Serving Boards: I used my Mackenzie-Childs check-chop board for both function and decor, which also comes in large. These are definitely investment pieces, but you can also check out a $30 version from Amazon or this heavy-duty version (also from Amazon!)

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

Can I Prep These in Advance?

While we love recipes that you can prep ahead of time, these Red Wine Floats should be made right before you serve so the ice cream doesn’t melt. Don’t worry, they come together in only about 3 minutes!

Storing Leftover Red Wine Floats

Any leftovers should be discarded down the drain (although they are so delicious, we’re sure they’ll be gobbled right up!)
