Spring is finally here – although we might get a surprise snowfall any moment! But with warmer weather approaching, it’s time to prepare for an influx of customers craving delicious frozen treats. One exciting trend shaking up the world of frozen desserts, including ice cream, is the introduction of boozy options! We’re excited to share some tantalizing recipes that will inspire you to start serving up irresistible boozy soft serve.
These recipes feature Itaberco’s high quality soft serve mixes and flavor compounds, guaranteeing the ultimate boozy soft serve experience. However, it’s worth noting that incorporating alcohol into frozen treats can be a bit tricky, requiring some experimentation with your Taylor ice cream machine to achieve the desired creamy texture. We suggest starting with 180g of alcohol, but feel free to adjust up to 300-500g for an extra boozy kick. Just keep in mind that alcohol can affect the freezing process, so your final product may appear slightly different from traditional non-alcoholic versions.
