The Stewart’s Spiked Root Beer Float Ice Cream is being launched by the brand to provide consumers with a boozy option to enjoy when looking for a way to satisfy their sweet tooth. The ice cream was created in partnership with Tipsy Scoop and is reported to have an ABV of up to 5% to make it a dessert that's only suitable for adults to enjoy. The ice cream is being launched for sale online where consumers can pick up four-packs.
CEO, Stewart's Enterprises, Inc. Peter Strahm spoke on the new Stewart’s Spiked Root Beer Float Ice Cream saying, "Stewart’s Spiked Seltzer takes something nostalgic from our childhoods and spikes it up, which is exactly what Tipsy Scoop does. We are very excited to collaborate with this New York brand, since it is an important market for us. Moreover, the fact that their founder, Melissa Tavss, was very familiar with our brand and had fond memories of it sealed the deal. We chose Root Beer because it is Stewart’s most classic flavor and root beer floats conjure up wonderful memories for most people who can now enjoy it as an adult indulgence."
