McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams has made flavorful, memorable ice cream in California since 1949. To celebrate Valentine’s Day this year, you’d think the iconic ice cream makers would be selling some chocolate and candy heart concoctions, some cupid-themed, pink, red, and white-chocolate-filled ice cream, or even an ice-cream themed take on the classic giant Valentine’s heart filled with random chocolates.

And while that would be all well and good, it wouldn’t be exciting enough for us. Epecially as fans of booze. Luckily, the brand is relaunching Garrison Brothers Whiskey & Pecan Praline ice cream to celebrate this sweets-filled holiday.

Yes, you read that right. The popular ice cream makers are relaunching Garrison Brothers Whiskey & Pecan Praline ice cream to celebrate this love-centric holiday. This collaboration between Hye, Texas’ popular Garrison Brothers Distillery, and McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams is made with the Texas brand’s small batch bourbon as well as “other fine ingredients from the chefs at McConnell’s.”  Bourbon and pralines. What could be better?

This limited-edition flavor combines Garrison Brothers’ Texas Straight Bourbon with McConnell’s signature Central Coast milk and cream. Salt-roasted, caramel-coated pecans add a crunchy and decadent element to this memorable ice cream.

Where can I buy it?

The best beers from California you can buy anywhere
California is more than just IPAs
Sierra Nevada

Currently, more than 9,000 breweries of all sizes operate in the US. That’s an awful lot of IPAs, stouts, and lagers to choose from. Some states are more saturated with breweries (per capita) than others. This includes places like Vermont, Colorado, Maine, Oregon, and, of course, California. While I could take a deep dive into all the biggest beer-producing states, today is all about The Golden State.

I have a special affinity for California beer, and it’s because of one style in particular. Sure, you can find a beer style to fit every palate in the state, but in California, the IPA reigns supreme. In fact, if you look at almost any list ranking the best beers in the state, it will be littered with IPA options. While I often imbibe pilsners and other lagers (as well as wheat beers and other lighter beers) in the summer as well as stouts and porters (and other dark beers) in the winter, I always go back to the classic West Coast IPA.
