The Franklin Freeze

Mixing one part Thirst-Ade, one Ice Cream and one Ice with the spindle of our mixing apparatus, we create THE FRANKLIN FREEZE. It shall send a jolt of coolness through your body, and leave a pleasant tingle on your taste buds. We suggest Lemon Ice & Dairy-Free Strawberry Ice Cream, blended with fresh squeezed Lemonade.

Gingerweisse Fancy Ice is a dairy-free ice made from Ginger, Molasses and Sugar, cut with Weiss Wit Beer. This vegan treat is more tart than sweet!
