photo: The Venue Report
Rosé all day? Pshaw. Our current obsession: boozy ice cream. We’ve never met a glass of champagne or ice cream flavor we didn’t like, so we combined the two. If ice cream and champagne get your blood pumping, you’ve got kindred spirits in us. This recipe is so simple that dare we say, you won't even need to prep it ahead of time.
This adults-only ice cream will be sure to float your boat for any type of gathering. The colorful concoction is best served chilled at your besties bridal shower, a sweet dinner party, in lieu of traditional dessert at a wedding or plonk some candles in it for your next birthday bash.

Dip, Dip, Dip!
Now for the fun! We recommend doing this part with your guests; they will have a blast DIY'ing their own alcohol-infused ice cream beverage. Dip the rims of the glassware into the melted white chocolate, then dip them into the sprinkle bowl. Voila! You have your own Crayola-colored glass.

Drop It like It's Hot, or Cold.
Add 1 to 2 scoops of the rainbow sherbet or dairy-free sorbet into each glass. More sherbet means less booze, less sherbet equals more booze. Which way will you sway?
