This dreamy mobile business is a small-batch ice cream catering company that cutely serves customers from the window of a vintage postal truck. Better yet, the flavors are crafted with top-shelf alcohol and locally brewed beer. Find the the truck’s stops at events and various spots here.
Boozy ice cream to try: a scoop of the vanilla bean bourbon with Maker’s Mark, if it’s on the list.
This bar boasts cocktails and “speakeasy burgers.” Fun creations on the menu include the Bootleggers Bourbon Burger with a bourbon-molasses glazed burger topped with bacon, pimento cheese and caramelized onions, and the Speakeasy Deluxe with lettuce, American cheese, tomato, red onion and champagne burger sauce. So why not add more alcohol with one of the “wet adult shakes”?
Boozy shake to try: The Boozy Banana with banana liquor and fresh bananas (so this counts as a fruit), Kahlua, and, chocolate and caramel syrup.
This gourmet burger bar serves up burgers, sandwiches (fried chicken craving, anyone?) salads (sweet-tea-brined chicken included), and a diverse array of adult milkshakes to pair. Plus: This establishment has a futuristic military theme, with burger names like Hell in the Pacific and Alex the Great.
Boozy shake to try: The Illuminati, with vanilla custard, whipped vodka, Bailey’s salted caramel, cookie dough, and Oreos. Don’t forget to upgrade to the “full metal jacket” frosted and candied rim with a dessert topping for $3 – that adds a brownie to the mountain of ice cream already in front of you.
This restaurant by famed chef Ashley Christensen flips fun burgers like the Day Tripper with griddled mushrooms and onions, mozzarella and comeback sauce, and the Green Jacket with poblano pimento cheese, lettuce, tomato and pickle.
Boozy shake to try: the Rum Punch with spiced rum.
This home of food, beers, and film was founded in Austin in 1997 to help innovative films gain an audience. This location is the first in North Carolina — it just opened in April. Craft beers and food options like pizza and cheeseburgers are brought right to the rows of theater seating, but sipping on a shake is surely the easiest way to keep the eyes on the screen.
Boozy shake to try: the Grasshopper Shake with green crème de menthe and white crème de cacao.
