The all-year-round ice cream

What better way to cool down in the warm weather than with a delicious booze-infused ice cream? Speakeasy, named after the illicit bars and clubs that sold booze during the American Prohibition era, has partnered with the award-winning craft spirit and liqueur producer Abelforth to launch three luxury ice-creams.

The Spiced Rum flavour is infused with Abelforth’s Rumbullion, which won the Best Spice Rum accolade at the World Rum Awards. It combines rich spices such as cinnamon, cloves and cardamom with Madagascan vanilla, orange peel and, of course, the finest Caribbean rum. The Cherry Brandy is made with Ableforth’s high-quality version of the spirit, with real cherries and French brandy. Finally, the light and refreshing Ramos Gin flavour boasts orange peel, juniper, coriander, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom in the multi-award winning Ableforth’s Bathtub Gin. All three offer a light flavour of alcohol with the creamy taste of artisan ice-cream.

Available through Ocado, in Wholefoods and independent retailers, Speakeasy Ice Cream is an all-year-round treat. Delicious with fruit or over crumbles or pies, and good enough to eat straight out of the tub, it’s also perfect for pairing with festive treats such as Christmas pudding and mince pies.
