ShopTalk: 10 Artisanal Ice Creams That Make Us Melt
Recently, we put 31 of the newest and best small-batch, artisanal ice cream flavors from across the country through a rigorous taste test. Exceedingly tough as it was, being able to bring you the mind-bendingly awesome, subtly delicious, and wildly bizarre is well worth the ordeal.  | Mint to Be
A light went on after tasting Adirondack Creamery’s WhiteFace Mint Chip ($65 for four pints). The intensely pure, clean snap makes us feel sorry for our former green mint-eating selves. | |  | A Really Cold One
Delicieuse’s Beer Sorbet ($8) sounds genius, but opinions are split. Consensus: It tastes exactly like a bottle of suds left too long in the freezer. Your call whether that’s good or bad. | |  | Better than Childhood
Ruby Jewel’s perfect Chub mini ice cream sandwiches ($55 for 20) elevate the form; creamy vanilla bean smushed between under-baked choco chip cookies tug on all our childhood summertime memories. | |  | Excellent, Party Time
Nice Cream’s Chocolate and Sweet Basil ($8) is like a mullet in sweet frozen form: solid, luscious chocolate in front, hot and spicy basil out back, awesome all around. | |  | Un-Kid Friendly
Silver Moon’s Pomegranate Martini sorbet ($8) is armed with a refreshing texture, spiked with two kinds of booze, and sure to leave you feeling light (but not light headed). Win-win!
