5 Places to Enjoy Boozed-Up Desserts

These days it’s so humid that just stepping out of the house without drowning in your own sweat is a struggle in itself. Ice cream is obviously a great way to cool off, but we’ve got something even better: alcoholic ice cream and desserts. We’ve rounded up five places where you can indulge your sweet tooth like a grown-up. Plus, we all know that when shit hits the fan, plain ice cream isn't enough.
Carousel Creamery
When a shop offers 101 flavors of delicious, handcrafted small batch ice cream, taking your pick can be rather overwhelming. Let us narrow it down for you: we love their Beer and Chicharon ice cream, but they also offer Bailey’s, Drunken Prunes, Rum Raisin, Gin and Juice, and Irish Stout.
Carousel Creamery is at 8 Missouri Building, Missouri Street, Greenhills, San Juan City.
Farmacy
This good old-fashioned soda fountain serves up some great Moonshine, or bourbon-flavored ice cream.
Farmacy has branches at G/F Netlima Building, 4th Avenue corner 26th Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City; O Square Greenhills, Ortigas Avenue corner Wilson Street, Greenhills, San Juan City.
Wildflour Café + Bakery
While this restaurant is better known for their breakfast and pastries, their Rum Caramel Panna Cotta is definitely worth a try.
Wildflour has branches at Netlima Building, 4th Avenue corner 26th Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City; V Corporate Center, 125 L. P. Leviste Street, Salcedo Village, Makati City; 111 Rada Street, Legaspi Village, Makati City; The Podium, ADB Avenue, Ortigas, Mandaluyong City; O Square Greenhills, Ortigas Avenue Corner Wilson Street, Greenhills, San Juan City.
Vask
When you’re done feasting on tapas, cap off your meal with a refreshing Rosé Watermelon Sangria. No, it’s not a drink— it’s watermelon cubes infused with Don Papa rum, apple, and orange and served on green tea soil with mascarpone ice cream.
Vask is at Clipp Center, 11th Avenue corner 39th Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City.
Ice ‘N Cream by Novotel
Manila’s newest ice cream shop offers flavors like Tijuana Surprise, made from cucumber, dalandan, and tequila; Papa Don Preach, aka rum raisin; and Kirsch Me—black forest ice cream with kirchwasser, a fruit brandy made from morello cherries.
Novotel Manila Araneta Center is at General Aguinaldo Avenue, Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City.
