Graeter’s Ice Cream and New Riff Distilling have announced their first-ever collaboration, Graeter’s Bourbon Ball Ice Cream.
Inspired by the classic Kentucky confection, the flavor is a bourbon-infused small-batch French Pot ice cream with whiskey-glazed pecans and dark chocolate chips. Each bite captures the signature flavors from a hand-selected single barrel of New Riff. Bourbon Ball will replace Graeter’s Brown Butter Bourbon Pecan and is an evolution of the beloved flavo.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with New Riff Distilling to create a flavor that celebrates two iconic treats: Kentucky Bourbon and ice cream,” said Richard Graeter, fourth-generation president and CEO, Graeter’s. “Working with the team at New Riff to taste and select a special Single Barrel, our team has created the perfect fusion of our hand-crafted process and New Riff’s exceptional distilling, delivering a unique experience that honors the rich flavors of Kentucky.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with another local, family-owned business that shares our passion for craft and quality,” added Mollie Lewis, President, New Riff Distilling. “Graeter’s has been an incredible partner – not only do they make amazing ice cream, but the way they incorporated our Single Barrel Bourbon into this recipe blew us away. It’s the perfect blend of two great traditions, and we can’t wait for everyone to get a taste.”
Graeter’s Bourbon Ball Ice Cream is now available to order for nationwide shipping at Graeters.com, Graeter’s scoop shops and New Riff’s Gift Shop. It will also be available in Meijer, Jungle Jim’s and Dorothy Lane Market stores this spring.
