The making of flavor #86, Elote
Step 2: De-cob all the corn. All the corn. Alllll of the corn. (This was a rather laborious project, if you didn’t catch our drift.)

The making of flavor #85, May Margarita
Step 3: Churn the ‘scream, pack up the pints.
The margarita (as we learned this weekend) is the most popular drink in the country. But its origin highly debated. The earliest reference to a “Margarita” was as Esquire’s Drink of the Month in 1953.
“She’s from Mexico, Senores, and her name is the Margarita Cocktail—and she is lovely to look at, exciting and provocative.”
But long before the Margarita lived the Tequila Daisy, a very similar cocktail, wich was ubiquitous in the 1930s. It’s basically the same thing, just sub cointreau for grenadine. So in honor of the OG margarita, the Tequila Daisy, we added a floral hint to ours this month.
Boom! March already. Here are our flavors of the month.
#81 Maple Creemee
maple ice cream with bits of cone
It’s sugarin’ time and the sap is flowing. Our pals at Morse Farm are tapping the trees and the maple creemee stands are coming out of hibernation. That’s the true sign of spring’s return. And we’re ready for it, celebrating it, with our rendition of the maple creemee. It’s simply a Grade A Dark Amber maple ice cream strewn with bits of the-best-cone-you’ve-ever-had from Ampersand Conery.
#82 Churro
dulce de leche ice cream with chunks of churro
Dulce de leche, the candy of the milk. Who knew milk could make such a delicious candy? We didn’t, until we boiled a can of it and, woah, a caramel-like jam was produced. Just like that. Churro has been a flavor we’ve long wanted to create - but how, and with what churros, we wondered. Well, with a can of milk and a trip uptown to the new Le Churro, we figured it out. For our pints, we’re dulce’ing our own leche and tossing in mini churro chunks. Delicioso.
