Tipsy Scoop™

Melissa Tavss' great, great, great grandfather, Achille, moved from his small mountaintop town of Picinisco, Italy to Glasgow, Scotland. He made ice cream at home and sold it from a pushcart as he walked the city streets. Eventually, he opened his own ice cream shop and brought his sons into the business. The family business continued with Melissa's great, great grandfather, Giovanni, who opened several of his own shops around Glasgow in the 1900s. Her great grandfather, Federico, carried on the family ice cream tradition, opening shops throughout Scotland and England and eventually becoming the President of the Ice Cream Alliance of Great Britain.Following in the ice cream tradition, Melissa began to experiment with putting a modern boozy twist on ice cream. She wanted to combine the best of both worlds and infuse traditional ice cream flavors with different liquors. After perfecting the recipes, she created creamy, tipsy, and delicious treats -- and Tipsy Scoop was born!At Tipsy Scoop we specialize in liquor-infused ice cream and sorbet. Our flavors are up to 5% ABV and inspired by our favorite desserts and cocktails. We now have 3 ice cream "Barlours" in New York City and franchises in Washington DC, Nashville, Portland, Phoenix, Miami and more opening soon! In addition to serving up delicious boozy treats in our Ice Cream Barlours, we also offer classes where our customers and followers can learn how to make our Instagrammable creations first hand! At Tipsy Scoop we believe every day brings a reason to celebrate. Our classes are a chance for customers to interact with our Barlour-tenders, bond with their teams, or have a creative date night. We love sharing the magic behind every boozy scoop!
