L.A. Creamery Reveals Three Cinco de Drinko Flavors, Including a Reposado Tequila Ice Cream
L.A. Creamery Artisan Ice Cream is celebrating the upcoming Cinco de Mayo holiday with a trio of Latin inspired flavors, including a Chocolate Churro ice cream, a Spicy Watermelon sorbet, and a Single Barrel Reposado Tequila Ice Cream.
A smooth tequila in my ice cream? Don’t. Mind. If. I. Do.
L.A. Creamery is an interesting ice cream company, in that they pride themselves on an entirely organic presence. Their flavors rarely contain more than 5 ingredients, and have no preservatives, hormones or antibiotics, and absolutely nothing artificial.
The three new flavors they’re introducing in celebration of Cinco de Mayo are no exception:
The Chocolate Churro ice cream is made with Straus Organic dairy, organic eggs, organic sugar, Madagascar vanilla beans and a custom churro pastry folded right into the ice cream. The churro is filled with chocolate sauce and is moist and light fried pastry on the inside, with a crispy exterior coated in cinnamon and sugar.
Next up on display is a refreshing, lighter flavor with a kick — a Spicy Watermelon Sorbet. The red final product is made with a seedless red watermelon, Tajin powder, lime zest and hand squeezed lime juice. The flavor notes a simultaneously sweet, spicy and tart experience.
Lastly, but arguably the stealer of whatever ice cream show is going on here, is the Single Barrel Reposado Ice Cream made from Casa Noble’s Single Barrel Reposado Tequila. The tequila, for the buffs who care, is aged for 364 days in hand-selected French white oak barrels that are lightly charred. The tequila is blended with L.A. Creamery’s organic dairy to create an ice cream that brings out the notes of green agave, cinnamon and roast peppers.
Only 50 pints of each flavor will be made. Select flavors will be on sale by the scoop at Marix in West Hollywood, CA, Marix in Santa Monica, CA, and Basix in West Hollywood, CA, by the scoop and hand packed pint at 800 Degrees in Westwood Village or by the pint at Farmshop in Brentwood, Vicente Foods in West LA, The Oaks Gourmet Market in Hollywood, Olive & Thyme Gourmet Cafe and MArketplace in Toluca Lake and Joan’s on Third in West Hollywood.
Or you can just sit and dream about it. Either way.
