Savannah Bee Co. Is the Key to a Boozy Cherry Pie Float

Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner, which means summer is set to officially begin in Tennessee! Tennessee is notoriously warm, but maybe you’re missing some classic baked yummies that it’s been too toasty to enjoy. Try out this cherry pie float for a great, cold twist on the classic cherry pie! We have to thank Savannah Bee Co. for inspiring this recipe. Their new mead release, Stranger Bings, has a delicious and refreshing flavor that tastes just like a classic cherry pie. Initially, you’ll taste notes of tart cherry, which will slowly shift into a warm, cozy vanilla. You’ll definitely want to grab a can whether or not you follow this recipe!

This boozy cherry pie float recipe is a great template for turning warm, classic treats into a cool and refreshing summer snack. Grab a tub of ice cream and follow along, or be inspired to recreate another favorite! With the tons of options in the world of wine, mead, and cider, as well as the miles of flavors for a variety of frozen treats, you can experiment all summer. Check out some of our suggestions at the end of this article!

We love this cherry pie float as a yummy twist on cherry pie and ice cream, but we also encourage you to try this formula with some of our other Tennessee wines, meads, and ciders! Try blending the flavor profiles of the wine with complimentary fruits for a classic combination. We recommend DelMonaco Winery & Vineyards’ 2022 Something Blue with a scoop of lemon ice cream and topped with blueberries, or a blueberry pie filling! You could also choose the fruit that makes up the wine. For example, Tennessee Cider Co.’s Peach Mimosa would pair wonderfully with a fruity sorbet, or with peaches and vanilla ice cream!

Start off a delicious summer by putting a twist on some of your favorite baked treats using Tennessee wine, mead, and cider! Be sure to tag us on Facebook and Instagram to show us your creations. Cheers!
