Secret Breakfast Ice Cream
We credit ice cream rebels Humphry Slocombe for starting the whole booze-in-ice-cream trend. Their now-mainstay flavor Secret Breakfast, bourbon ice cream with crunchy cornflakes, is a true breakfast of champtions. Try it with the bourbon caramel sauce for an extra kick. // Humphry Slocombe, Ferry Building (Embarcadero), humphryslocombe.com
Golden State Cider Float
Farm Burger is not just any classic burger and shake spot, but a gourmet build-your-own burger and 'adult' floats joint. Golden State Cider, a dry craft cider, is an unlikely yet perfectly awesome addition to a vanilla ice cream float. It's crisp, light, and pairs just right with a burger. // Farm Burger, 1313 9th St. (Berkeley), farmburger.net
Rum Oreo Blizzard
Make your happy hour a little bit happier with the Corner Store's Rum Oreo Blizzard, with a couple splashes of spiced rum and chocolate sauce. More heavenly boozy blizzards and milkshakes are on offer during happy hour, from 4 to 6 pm. // The Corner Store, 5 Masonic Ave. (Laurel Heights), thecornerstore-sf.com
Pear Cider Sorbet from Shakedown
With the endless combinations of hand-crafted ice cream and sorbets at Shakedown, you'll be hard-pressed not to pick your poison. Our pick?
