Kirin’s Beer and Ice Cream Combo Will Cure your Summer Cravings

Ashley Steinberg

During the summer, nothing hits the spot like BBQ and a cold beer. Then, of course, you follow it up with ice cream.

But what if I told you you could combine beer and ice cream to create the ultimate summer treat?

Kirin Ichiban beer sent me the perfect summer ice cream and beer combo recipe, and it was so good, I had to share it. This Cherry Blossom Gelato recipe will really hit the spot on those hot summer days.

So when you can’t make it out to Tipsy Scoop to try some of their treats, or when you want something new, break out some ingredients and make this boozy ice cream of your own.

My name is Ashley and I am a food-a-holic. While all my friends went through high school following shows like Gossip Girl and the OC, I spent my nights watching Top Chef and Masterchef. I am always looking for new recipes (mostly sweets to try out). That said, buying sweets is my biggest weakness. I can’t resist a good candy bar and I usually buy at least one snack food a day, be it a Hershey’s bar (dark chocolate, please!), Ring Ding, or Froyo (my kryptonite).

As a native New Yorker, I take advantage of the fact that we have a ton of bests when it comes to food. Best bagels. We’ve got em. Best black and white cookies. We’ve got em. Best Olive Gardens? Well…. Maybe we don’t have those. But I pledge to do my best to find the bests of every type of food and snack, both homemade and in stores, and share them with you.

I love trying new things and telling other people about them so they can share in my joy (and weight gain). I want to share my food finds with others to save them the hassle of sifting through the duds along the way. I hope you enjoy my writing as much as I will enjoy writing it!
