Why should kids have all the fun? Today, Dara talked about some Ice-cream for grown-ups around the Twin Cities. She mentioned:
1) Guiness-vanilla ice-cream float at Crema Café. They also have a full wine list, and Dara got to wondering how a glass of prosecco with a scoop of fresh black-currant sorbet would be.
2) Burger Jones: Baroque, mad ice-cream drinks, with ice-cream and everything you can think of: ("Southern Belle": Creations with Jim Beam, Peach Schnapps, Nilla Wafers, peaches; "Revenge of the Nerds," with Cruzan Raspberry Rum, strawberry, vanilla & Nerds - lots of Nerds; and the "Naughty Girl Scout," with Creme De Menthe, Creme De Cocao, chocolate sauce and mint)
3) Town Talk Diner: Serious ice-cream drinks - the Monkey business (with chocolate ice-cream, banana liqueur, peanut butter, and bourbon) is like eating the inside of a thousand Christmas candies. And the English float, with Young's Double Chocolate Stout and chocolate ice-cream is about as elite foodie as an ice-cream drink is going to get.
4) Ike's: A full range of classic ice-cream cocktails, the Pink Squirrel, Brandy Alexander, Grasshopper.
5) The real classics - Nye's! Jax! The Lex! The Chanhassen Dinner Theater! You'd be hard-pressed to find a classic Minnesota supper-club that would deny you a Brandy Alexander.
