Gorham, an engineer, and his sister Katie, a public health communications specialist at Johns Hopkins, spent about a year on research and development and came up with a recipe for a product that tastes like ice cream, but has the alcohol content of a glass of vino. ![]() That night, the Baltimore-area family filed for an LLC and Winecream was born. But wine ice cream? It was an idea they could all get behind. “We wanted ice cream, but we didn’t want to stop drinking wine,” he said.

Tipsy Scoop’s tequila treats have helped me to enjoy the strong liquor, and even more importantly, I can enjoy it without doing something embarrassing in front of complete stranger. I’m too old (and lame) to knock back shots of tequila these days but I’m not too old to enjoy my ice cream with a hint of it.

Tequila is the alcohol equivalent of a girlfriend you meet sophomore year of college who tells you that being a hoe is cool and you should always say yes to boys who wear button down shirts ‘cause they’re classy. One is my boyfriend (he’s really cute), two is 95-degree weather, and three is (cliché drum roll for predictable answer) - tequila.
