If there’s one universal bond for the WM Event’s team, it’s a love for ice cream. It’s not uncommon for us to take an office field trip to get some of our local favorites. Since the 4th of July is right around the corner and the temperatures in Atlanta won’t dip below 85 degrees for a few more months, we thought we’d take this opportunity to give you a taste of some of our favorite frozen treats.
When beer fell into the ice cream maker at a party, Aly Moler and Ari Fleischer turned a happy accident into a great business endeavor. With five year-round flavors and a few seasonal specials, this beer-based ice cream is sure to delight guests at all your summertime events. The Malted Milk Chocolate Stout was a favorite at our recent open house. Be warned, you might need to call a cab after a cone of Frozen Pints.
Star Provisions is a food lover’s dream. They offer an amazing selection of cheese, breads, and sandwiches (try the Shrimp Po’ Boy), as well as a wide array of gifts for your home. One of the best kept secrets of this local eatery is their soft serve ice cream. The vanilla base alone is to die for, but their offbeat toppings, including carmel sea salt and honey almond, make this ice cream completely irresistible.
High Road Craft Ice Cream and Sorbet
With chef Keith Schroeder at the helm, High Road never fails to deliver some of the most interesting and delicious ice cream we’ve ever had. With flavors ranging from Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel, Bourbon Burnt Sugar, and Blood Orange Stracciatella, the hardest part is choosing which one to try first. We’ve been lucky enough to have their cart at some of our events. Needless to say, it’s always a big hit.
