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.
