Two Entrepreneurs Pair Ice Cream And Spirits In Two Cities

The two students met in an entrepreneurial class at the college and became friends.

Both of the people who grew up in Boston and Milwaukee had a penchant for ice cream and spirits.

Both of them are food lovers. My father used to pour a shot of brandy over the ice cream.

When I was a kid, my family and friends used to serve a dessert with a shot of alcohol at dinner parties.

They liked ice cream and liqueurs so they came up with the idea of crme de liqueur frozen custard.

They launched their spirited ice cream in Boston and Milwaukee in the summer of 2021. The company is based in Boston and in Milwaukee, where Nash lives.

Local ingredients are a cornerstone of their business. They make it with different ingredients in different cities.

In each state, we work with local partners. We look for bakeries that mix in brownies and cheesecakes.

They have four main flavors that are year-round. In Milwaukee, a bent of chocolate brownie Bourbon will have a slightly different profile than in Boston due to being locallysourced.

Sometimes they will try out new flavors in just one city, and other times they will try out different flavors.

Petsi Pies and Boston Harbor Distillery are two women-run businesses that have collaborated with them on a new product. The ice cream is made from Boston Harbor Distillery and Petsie Pie.

We've created a fall flavor that celebrates local and brings three women-owned businesses together in one drink.

Whiskey s'mores ice cream will be one of the fall flavours. Nash says that the flavors are tested every month or so.

In addition to Boston Harbor Distillery, they also work with Bully Boy Distillers and Short Path Distillers in Massachusetts.

The two started selling their infused frozen delights at farmers markets in both cities, and have since expanded to doing pop-ups and events, as well as restaurants, bars and distilleries.

Both Boston and Milwaukee are year-round ice cream places.

Nash says that the cold doesn't bother people a lot. We sold our ice cream at the Milwaukee Christkindl market last year. The mayor of Oak Creek tried it at the Christkindlemarket and asked us to come and sell at their farmers market.

Each ice cream has 2 percent alcohol by volume, and can be purchased for $5 to $7 per serving. Fans of the ice cream have asked if they will open outposts in Chicago and New York.

As we grow, some things might have to shift, but our goal is to keep local as a cornerstone of our business.
