Graeter’s Ice Cream and New Riff Distilling announced today their first-ever collaboration, Graeter’s Bourbon Ball Ice Cream.
Inspired by the classic Kentucky confection, the new flavor will be available at New Riff’s Gift Shop beginning Saturday, April 12, and all Graeter’s scoop shops starting Monday, April 14. Fans can also find this collaboration in Meijer, Jungle Jim’s and Dorothy Lane Market stores this spring.
Graeter’s Bourbon Ball Ice Cream is a rich, bourbon-infused ice cream with whiskey-glazed pecans and dark chocolate chips. Its signature flavors come from a hand-selected single barrel of New Riff’s crafted bourbon.
Bourbon Ball will replace Graeter’s Brown Butter Bourbon Pecan.
“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.”
Graeter’s Bourbon Ball Ice Cream is available to order for nationwide shipping here. Fans can stop by New Riff Distilling from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 12, for free samples or to purchase a pint.
“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with another local, family-owned business that shares our passion for craft and quality,” said Mollie Lewis, president, New Riff. “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.”
