This spirited collaboration of bourbon and ice cream is the flavorful holiday gift that everyone craves.
While a simple, neat pour is a lovely way to end a meal, many people prefer a sweet ending. Instead of both a fork and a glass, I crave a spirited combination that delivers the best of both worlds. Five Springs Infused Bourbon partnered with Tipsy Scoop to create a delicious dessert. The World’s Best Cup of Coffee takes the bourbon and coffee flavors to the next level.
Flavored bourbons have surged in popularity. From the tropical-infused Jim Beam Pineapple to the tart and tangy Crown Royal Blackberry, bourbon drinkers appreciate the variety. Without overpowering the traditional oaky flavors, caramel sweetness, and other traditional flavors, the infusions add complex layers. Whether enjoyed on their own or in a cocktail, the variety adds excitement to the category.
Five Springs Infused Bourbon, founded by spirits industry executive Lisa Sawyer Derman in 2024, offers a trio of nuanced, creative, and innovative expressions in Vanilla Maple, Blood Orange, and Honey Sage. From fruits to botanicals, the unique flavors inspire imaginative cocktails, and in this case, a delectable dessert.

What Is the World’s Best Cup of Coffee Dessert?
Five Springs Infused Bourbon and Tipsy Scoop creation elevates the popular bourbon and coffee pairing. It is just a touch sweet, a little whimsical and a perfect way to end the meal.
The dessert starts with Tipsy Scoop’s coffee ice cream. Then, it adds Five Springs Vanilla Maple Bourbon. The dessert is finished with chocolate swirls and marshmallow fluff.
The Vanilla Maple Bourbon infusion is familiar, slightly sweet and very comforting. In contrast, the marshmallow fluff brings a sense of whimsy. Similar to marshmallows in hot chocolate, the sugary note captures the fun side that I want in a fun dessert. Even though this alcohol infused dessert is only for adults, it is the playful interpretation that makes every bite more enjoyable.
Speaking about the special offering, Lisa Sawyer Derman, Founder & CEO of Five Springs Infused Bourbon explained, “At Five Springs, we’re always looking for unexpected ways to invite people into the world of bourbon. This collaboration with Tipsy Scoop does just that in the most delightful way, and partnering with a like-minded team makes it even more special. There’s something timeless about bourbon and ice cream coming together, especially during the holidays. It’s a delicious reminder that bourbon can be as playful and inclusive as it is classic.”
How to Enjoy this Special Bourbon Ice Cream?
While many people will happily dig into a pint of this Tipsy Scoop ice cream, the World’s Best Cup of Coffee Dessert invites people to explore some creative recipes. Some simple options to elaborate creations, there are plenty of ways to enjoy this ice cream.
Personally, I found the simplest way to enjoy this ice cream is to serve it affogato style. To amplify the flavor, place a scoop in a Five Springs Infused Bourbon espresso. As a coffee lover, this idea holds great appeal.
To minimize the caffeine, consider topping a rich, chocolate brownie with the ice cream. With a bourbon salted caramel drizzle, it is a cocktail and dessert pairing in just one bite.
Lastly, an ice cream sandwich made with a gingersnap cookie would be delicious. Since the ice cream tends to be sweet, a warm, spicy cookie keeps the sugary notes in balance without overpowering the ice cream.
The World’s Best Cup of Coffee Dessert is a 5% ABV and available to customers 21 or older. Available until December 31, it can be purchased at TipsyScoop.com, Goldbelly.com, and at Tipsy Scoop “Barlours” in New York, Washington D.C., Nashville, Portland, Pensacola, and Phoenix.
