Las Vegas' drunken desserts
Drinking at a bar or club in Las Vegas is so old school. Well, not exactly. But two companies are banking on the idea of selling desserts with a touch of alcohol. |
Drinking at
a bar or club in Las Vegas is so old school --at least that's what two
companies hope will be the latest Sin City trend. SnoBar and Sin City Cupcakes are serving up
sweets that pack a serious punch.
Alcohol-infused
ice pops and ice cream will be served poolside at select Caesars and MGM
properties throughout Las Vegas, as well as at local liquor stores and
supermarkets, thanks to SnoBar.
"It's
hot, there's beautiful people, and SnoBar fits right in," said Shannon
Masjedi, co-founder of SnoBar.
SnoBar,
which is also sold in select liquor stores throughout Arizona, offers flavors
such as margarita and Cosmopolitan-inspired popsicles, and alcohol-infused ice
creams with Brandy and Amaretto.
Just like
with any alcoholic beverage, it's best to consume the ice cream in moderation.
"Remember,
there's a full cocktail in every serving of SnoBar," said Masjedi. "A
couple of ice pops and you're definitely feeling it."
But if ice
cream isn't your thing, no need to worry. Alcohol-infused cupcakes are an
online order away with Sin City Cupcakes.
"The
fun thing about Sin City Cupcakes is we base everything off of flirty, sexy
cocktails," said Dannielle, co-founder of Sin City Cupcakes.
Some of
those flirty cupcake flavors include the "No Limit Lemon Drop," a
vodka cake injected with a tasty vanilla lemon vodka filling; "Margarita
Madness," described as a white lime tequila cake with a vanilla margarita
filling; and the popular "Chocolate Wasted," a moist chocolate vodka
cake with a chocolate vodka filling.
As far as
getting a buzz from the cupcakes, we're told you'd have to consume at least six
of them before feeling any effects of the alcohol.
"Our
cupcakes are really unique because unlike other alcohol-infused cupcakes, we
don't directly bake the alcohol into the cake," said Lisa, co-founder of
the cupcake company. "We bake the cake first, core out the center of the
cupcake, and then it's filled depending on the flavor."
From popsicles to cupcakes, the drinking experience
in Vegas just got a whole lot sweeter.
