Boozy ice cream? That’s so cool! How much alcohol is actually in each pint?
Cheers to great minds that think alike! We’re pretty obsessed with our spirited treat as well. Our frozen custard is infused with up to 2% Alcohol by Volume (ABV).

Will this get you drunk? / How much do I have to eat to get drunk?
While we applaud your enthusiasm, our focus is above all else on flavor. We’ve crafted delicious flavor pairings and local mix-ins and spirits into one delicious pint with balance and sophisticated tastes on the forefront of our tongues. Whether you’re going for a single scoop or the whole pint, you’ll be full and happy. We do contain real alcohol with 2% Alcohol by Volume in each pint.
What’s the difference between frozen custard and ice cream?
If you’re from the Midwest or Upstate NY, then you likely already know the joys of frozen custard. But for those who have yet to be introduced, it would be our joy for your first scoop to be Crème de Liqueur's frozen custard! Frozen custard contains a higher percentage of egg yolk than traditional ice cream, resulting in a denser, creamier texture. While some ice cream may include eggs, that doesn’t make it custard. Ours is a true frozen custard — with high butterfat content and a rich base — made even more indulgent by the addition of premium spirits.
Are you a local company?
Yes! We proudly started this company from local beginnings in Massachusetts and Wisconsin. Many of our ingredients are sourced from regional distilleries and small food producers. You can see a full list of our local partners here.
Is your frozen custard gluten-free or nut-free?
Our products are made in a facility that processes wheat, milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and soy. While we take care to minimize cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee that our frozen custard is free from allergens. Please refer to individual ingredient lists for more detailed information.
Do you have any dairy-free or vegan boozy ice cream flavors?
Yes. We offer several dairy- and egg-free, liquor-infused sorbets, including Margarita Sorbet, Lemon Drop Sorbet, and Blueberry Gin Smash. These are made with a non-dairy base and are vegan-friendly. As we grow, we aim to expand availability at retailers in more regions.
Where can I find boozy ice cream near me?
We now ship nationwide with Goldbelly to you! Drop us a line over on Instagram and tell us where you’d like to see us next! As a small business, every reference helps. (Plus, you’d be AMAZED how much asking your local restaurant or venue to bring us in to their menu can help us sail right onto shelves).
How you guarantee frozen delivery?
We know a big fear of ordering ice cream online (besides realizing how in the future we really are) is ensuring it arrives frozen. At Crème de Liqueur, we made sure that we factored in two-day shipping AND use a secret weapon to keep your pints frozen from our kitchen to your doorstep. Each order arrives packed on dry ice, ensuring that your ice cream is held at -109.3 F during transit.
How do I unbox my ice cream order?
- Move pints straight to your freezer first
- Use gloves or tongs if you need to handle any remaining dry ice
- Keep kids and pets away from it
- Never put dry ice in a sealed container, ingest it, or touch it with your bare hands.
How do I dispose of dry ice safely?
The easiest option is to let it sublimate in a well-ventilated area. Set the cooler outside, crack the lid, and let it disappear on its own. Do not put it down a closed drain or toilet, and do not store it in an airtight container. More tips here
