McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams of Santa Barbara, California, is back again with another innovative flavor combination, Avaline Rosé and Boysenberry Milk Jam. This time, the boutique ice cream brand has partnered with Avaline, a luxury clean wine brand, to bring your favorite frozen treat to you – but with a rosé twist.
Who doesn’t love rosé? Some say it’s an acquired taste. McConnell’s is known for making its own flavors from scratch, using only the finest local, sustainable, and organic ingredients. It’s no wonder that they would choose to create a daring flavor balance such as this.
Avaline Rosé is a clean, vegan-friendly wine by Cameron Diaz and Katherine Power, offering a light, fresh mouthfeel with flavors of melon and zest to bring the wine’s signature light pink hues to life. This fruit-forward French wine is crafted with organic grapes and is free of unnecessary inclusions like sugars, colors, and concentrates.
Michael Palmer, CEO of McConnell’s, had this to say about the latest flavor collab,
“At McConnell’s, we have always embraced an ethos of sustainability, transparency, and using only the finest whole ingredients in our ice creams, so we are thrilled to collaborate with Avaline, a company that embodies these same values. Made with Avaline’s clean, natural rosé blended into a delicious preserve, our newest velvety, decadent flavor, Avaline Rosé and Boysenberry Milk Jam, is one of our best yet.”
Sounds yummy! Lucky for me, we were invited to have a first look at this delectable, one-of-a-kind ice cream. I was thrilled to have the chance to do my own little taste test. Here are my thoughts on this exclusive flavor:
“The blend of the tart, sweet, and creamy created a divine flavor trio that makes this pint a truly refreshing, must-try summertime treat.”
As of May 6, 2022, this exclusive ice cream flavor collaboration is available for purchase online by the pint (nationwide shipping) and also at any McConnell’s scoop shops along the West Coast (Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo). Keep in mind, this is a limited edition collaboration, and this delightful flavor is expected to sell out quickly – so if you want to experience the undeniable deliciousness, act fast! Pints are available for $12 online and $11.50 in scoop shops.
