You can eat a pint of ice cream to satisfy your sweet tooth and drink a glass of bourbon to take the edge, but what if you could do BOTH a the same time. There is an ice cream that can deliver this unique user experience. May I introduce you to Proof Alcohol Ice Cream. Proof Alcohol Ice Cream is infused with alcohol to help you enjoy a sweet treat and take the edge off.
I was introduced to Proof Ice Cream one Friday night by my friend, (Shout Out To Dean Baldwin) who lives back in my hometown of Columbia, SC. He messaged me: “Dude Tailgating Challenge has to test out this new ice cream.” My original thought is that ice cream is not normally synonymous with tailgating, but please tell me more. He said we met these awesome people who went to the University of South Carolina and they are putting alcohol in ice cream.
Now you have my attention!
He went on to mention all the samples they tried and that they bought multiple pints and were racing home, so they could eat some more.
I reached out to Proof Ice Cream and while they weren’t yet available in TX, I told them I too was originally from South Carolina and heard about how awesome their ice cream was. They packed 5 of their most popular flavors into a cooler with dry ice and sent out for me to taste and get my professional opinion on their ice cream. They sent the following flavors:
Bourbon Caramel
Strawberry Moonshine
Cheesecake Moonshine
Mocha Chocolate Moonshine
Coconut Rum
I has been HOT in Texas, so I was a little worried what ice cream would look like when it arrived at my door step, but to my surprise it was still ice cold with the shipping method they used. Again, I was extremely interested in ice cream with alcohol, so I figured lets taste some! We went through and did a taste of each one. My initial impression was clear that alcohol was used in the making of this product. You know those times you’ve ordered a mixed drink and you wonder if the bartender added any alcohol…this was NOT one of those times! I say that to say it is not overpowering, but you will get a taste of the alcohol that is used in the ice cream.
Each pint of Proof Alcohol Ice Cream is 14 Proof and 7% ABV. Did I mention you have to be 21 to buy this ice cream!?
My favorite of these 5 flavors was the bourbon caramel and it was a clean sweep with everyone that tasted these flavors that bourbon caramel was the clear champion. The others were still good, but the bourbon caramel is on another level.
I’m envisioning Proof Ice Cream using some Salted Caramel Whiskey in a future offering like we tested out HERE
Since the ice cream has alcohol in it it does not freeze as hard as regular ice cream. I recommend putting this in your deep freeze to firm it up when you get the urge to have something a little sweet with a little shot of liquid motivation.

Sounds like something I would like to try. When I went to England they had chocolate candy that was hollow and inside was pure alcohol. Was defiantly different. Maybe they should just mix it with chocolate if it would work. but wasn’t bad just not for kids
did you eat enough to ‘feel’ it?
Best damn ice cream I ever ? ate, Best on market better than regular ice cream you can’t get enough,I,m gonna go broke do you have coupon,s
haha I think they are on to something and keep coming out with new flavors!
We’ve tried Mocha Chocolate Moonshine, Pumpkin Spice Moonshine, Cheesecake Moonshine and our original purchase and favorite, Bourbon Caramel which just happen to blow us away! However, we were hugely disappointed when we tried Rum Pistachio. Whether the ratio of rum to ice cream was wrong or vice versa, or the rum was bad, the fact remains it is inedible. I’m still debating on whether or not to return the partially eaten container to Lowe’s or not. At $10 a pop, it should be a fool “proof” ice cream treat!
Bourbon Caramel, Strawberry Moonshine, Moonshine, Mocha Chocolate Moonshine, and Coconut Rum! How are you suppose to pick one? So I would have to try all of them! Yummy! ?
Coconut Rum!!!
My wife brought this to the house one day to try it and it was delicious. I recommend this product %100.
I’d love to try this but I’m afraid $135 + shipping for six pints of ice cream, or close to $25/pint, is just a wee bit to much for me. Worse still, you can only get these in packs of 4 or 6, and they choose the flavors in those packs. If you’re going to force people to order 4 pints at a time (which makes sense given the need for dry ice and styro) then at least allow the buyer to choose the flavors of those pints. Great idea though!
