These are Boston Coolers and they are a popular drink in the Detroit area.
A Boston Cooler’s core ingredients are simple, ginger ale and vanilla ice cream. However, to achieve authentic status, it’s essential to opt for Detroit’s very own Vernors.
Instead of being served as a float, it’s blended or stirred to attain a creamy texture.
Lots of ice cream concoctions and even Cocktails have gone by the name of Boston Cooler. And during the early 20th century the Boston Cooler became the generic term used for any drink mixing ice cream and soda.
But after the Vernor’s Company copyrighted the Boston Cooler name in 1967, its Detroit connection solidified and it soon became associated specifically with Motor City.
Today, you can find them at ice cream shops and restaurants around the Detroit area and other parts of Michigan as well.
