Sun Country Wine Cooler-80s style

Back in the 80s, Sun Country Wine Coolers had a good run of popularity. Not really sure where they went to, but I don't think they still make it. I don't remember them selling it in individual bottles either. I only remember them in plastic 2 liter bottles. After checking out some ads, they apparently had single serving bottles, but like I said, I don't remember them. Here is the ad I remember best, with "Addicted to Love" as the backing song.

Other ads typically had celebrities, in a polar bear outfit. Like this one. Here's The Four Tops.

So anyway, I was having an 80s themed party, and wanted some Sun Country Wine Cooler. So I wanted to make my own. I found some recipes on the net. Tried 'em, didn't like 'em. One of them was to use pinot grigio wine. Don't! Tasted like crap.

Try this for a sampler to see if you like it. I had several people at my party say they really liked it. So stay to the same ratios if you want a bigger batch, but make yourself a glass first to try:

4 oz. Welch's Orange/Pineapple/Apple Juice Cocktail

4 oz. Pink Moscato wine. (though any Moscato would probably work)

6 oz. Ginger Ale

I thought it had the right amount of fizzy, fruity, winey.
