Who remembers this? As a young'un I was allowed a little bit of this at my parents' parties.
So we're having an 80s themed party and I want to make some as a punch. Does anyone have suggestions on how to do it? I don't really know what was in it or remember what it tasted like.

mmmmmmiami wine cooler - that was a yummy treat for us pre-teens in the 80s. for a tacky punch, go a whole bladder of medium white wine, 3 litres of OJ, 1. 5litre L&P and half a cup of vodka or gin for that cheap leg opener effect

I bought something really similar recently, think it was a wine spritzer, I would mix just juice bubbles with wine?

Thanks - I'm liking the idea of mixing JJ Bubbles with wine, nice and easy and probably won't be too foul. I found that recipe too, twindizzy ;-) It was the only thing I could find about Miami Cooler on the internet. Apart from a t shirt which I now kind of want.

Ok, I'll admit doing this. A couple of years back I went into a bottle store and asked for wine cooler. The guys practically wet themselves and said "Well no, we haven't had that for a FEW years". Bit embarrassing.

OMG, yes Miami wine cooler was our staple while at uni, i think that cheap white wine and sparkly fruit juice would do it

You could make some labels, to stick on the bottles, maybe heineken bottles? I remember a white label with coloured writing sort of freestyle. I love wine cooler, and have also been laughed at in a bottle store thirty years too late.
