ICED POLEAXE GRAPES

Back in the day, my parents used the term ‘poleaxed’ to refer to staggery drunk people, as in “Oh look, that person’s completely poleaxed”. I use it to remind myself that these lovely wee alcohol-soaked crunchy frozen treats pack a surprise if one overindulges. Perfect on a sunny afternoon.

White wine, eau de vie or any clear coloured booze that takes your fancy

Fresh grapes, well rinsed

Cover grapes in your choice of tipple and soak covered overnight in the fridge. Add a little sugar if your grapes are on the tart side. Next day lift out the grapes, place in a lined tray and freeze until solid. Serve straight from the freezer.
