Boozy ice cream has now been widely accepted by much of the world, much to the relief and joy of everyone who has been enjoying it thus far. The year 2020 saw many things but among the good things was the addition of new companies to the list of adult ice cream flavors. With so many to choose from, it can be tough deciding which are worth it - especially when so many are so tempting.
If a boozy treat is something you're looking for to end the season (or, you know, in general) then we've got the list of the best for you. It's time to ring in some of the good things that we were left with in 2020 and ice cream that's mixed with Irish cream or Merlot definitely sounds like something that we can look forward to in our freezers. When it comes to after-dinner treats and skipping drinks in order to go straight to dessert, these ice creams should be on everyone's (21 and older, of course) list.
Mercer's Wine Ice Cream
There aren't too many things that are better than wine and ice cream and Mercer's is combining them both into a boozy ice cream that's sure to turn heads, and already has. With so many different flavors, wine lovers can easily find their favorite, and, luckily for them, Mercer's is an expert in pairing wine flavors with ice cream flavors. With a total of ten flavors to pick from, you can't really go wrong with any. The flavors are Peach White Zinfandel, Chocolate Cabernet, Lemon Sparkling, Cherry Merlot, Strawberry Sparkling, Port, Red Raspberry Chardonnay, Shiraz, Riesling, and Spice. According to Spoon University, Red Raspberry Chardonnay and Cherry Merlot are top contenders.
Tipsy Scoop
For those seeking a little more than wine, the Tipsy Scoop is wholeheartedly delivering. According to the company's website, its mission is 'to blend the magic of an artisanal, hand-crafted ice cream with the mastery of a perfectly mixed cocktail.' With a whopping 14 flavors to choose from, the decision is open to whichever boozy blend your heart desires. Of those flavors, the choice can be any of these: Blue Chair Bay Holiday Coquito, Dark Chocolate Whiskey Salted Caramel, Cake Batter Vodka Martini, Vanilla Bean Bourbon, Spiked Hazelnut Coffee, Mango Margarita Sorbet, Raspberry Limoncello Sorbet, Strawberry White Sangria Sorbet, Spiked Spiced Pumpkin Pie, Hot Buttered Rum, Blue Chair Pina Colada, Truly Black Cherry Lemonade Ice Cream, Truly Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet, and Truly Lemonade Ice Cream, it all depends on which exotic booze or seasonal comfort you're seeking.
BuzzBar
Sometimes, having an ice cream all wrapped up in a neat package in the form of an ice cream bar is preferable. In that event, the BuzzBar is definitely something to look into. This Vermont-based company is offering ice cream bars that have been blended with classic liquors in flavors such as Vanilla Daze (vanilla and cognac), Blitzed Berry (strawberry and rum), Bourbon St. Chocolate (chocolate and whiskey), The Buzz Café (coffee and Irish cream), The Drunken Cookie (cookies 'n cream and bourbon whiskey), as well as sorbet flavors that include Citrus Berry Drop (raspberry and lemon with lemon vodka), Majestic Mango (mango and lime with tequila), Merlot Berry (berry and Merlot), Mojito Madness (lime and mint with rum), and Pineapple Buzz (tropical fruit and spiced rum). If those flavors aren't sure to knock your socks off then perhaps the next boozy frozen treat will do the trick.
SnöBar
According to SnöBar, there's a serving of one drink in each ice cream serving. According to the ice cream's ABV, this is pretty accurate - and then some. However, the only catch is that these pints are available at restaurants, bars, and clubs, but not yet available online. This can make ordering them a bit tough but rest assured that once you do track them down, they're well worth the effort. However, there are some flavors that can be found on their website shipped with dry ice, along with their original popsicles. Those flavors are Brandy Alexander Chocolate Chip (chocolate and brandy), Grasshopper (mint chocolate chip with Creme de Menthe and Creme de Coco), and Pink Squirrel (vanilla with Creme de Noyaux, amaretto, and brandy). Their website also offers popsicles in Mojito, Margarita, and Cosmo flavors for a summer treat or something simple with a bit of a buzz. Gift baskets and variety baskets can also be purchased from their website, with specific instructions on what to do when they arrive.
