Asia One recently profiled an ice cream store that opened in a Singapore neighborhood - the best kind of an ice cream store.  The owner wanted to feature ice cream because it’s a “happy food.”  The particular ice cream he sells will make you real happy, because it’s ice cream made with booze.

Their “adult” ice cream includes flavors like Cherry Bomb, Lychee Martini, and Rum Raisin.  To give the place a casual feel, they have graffiti walls you can write on, cow cartoons, board games, and a chalkboard where you can vote on ice cream flavors.

Fantastic idea!  Why doesn’t someone in the States franchise this?

When I was a little kid, it was a special treat to go out for a root beer float. There are special treats for adults too, only without the “root”… beer floats.

In a previous post, I mentioned that there is a bar down the street from the Mid-South Alcoholic Supply World Headquarters that is sometimes used as a branch office. This bar sells beer floats… Young’s Double Chocolate stout mixed with vanilla ice cream. Beer and ice cream together may sound gross, but with Young’s Double Chocolate, it actually works… it tastes like a chocolate float.

If you don’t have a bar in your neighborhood that sells beer floats, you can always pick up some Young’s Double Chocolate and ice cream at the grocery store, and enjoy a float in one of our beer mugs.

New York’s governor has signed a bill that allows ice cream made with wine to be sold in the state.

Designed to help New York’s dairy industry, the bill removes the requirement that wine ice cream be sold as an alcoholic beverage; sounds like it can now go in supermarket freezer cases in New York alongside regular ice cream. However, the bill still prohibits the sale of wine ice cream to minors, and limits the alcohol content to 5%.
