Purple Cow Recipe - An Old One

This is a simple childhood tradition of my family from childhood that I have carried on with my kids.  This yummy concoction is quite simple to make, and creates a memory that will stand the test of time quite well.  It is a great treat for New Years night, birthdays, or any other special occasions as required.  While I have never been to the namesake recent restaurant, it appears to be quite a popular treat.  Enjoy!!

Purple Cow

Shake or stir well (blender works nicely):

1/2 cup grape juice                         

1 tablespoon milk

2 tablespoons sugar

Add:

1/2 cup ginger ale (a must)              

Large spoon of vanilla ice cream

Stir in and add more ice cream (approximately 1 dip) to thicken.

This makes a large serving, but it is easy to increase the amount as long as your blender can handle it.
