I bet that after a long day battling crowds at Disney World, alcohol and ice cream sound pretty darn good. Put ’em TOGETHER, and you’ve got our #OnTheList item for today!!
#OnTheList Ice Cream Martini
This week’s #OnTheList item popped up a couple of years ago in Epcot’s France at L’Artisan des Glaces! An Ice Cream Martini? Yes, please!

L’Artisan has a large selection of ice cream and sorbet flavors for you to choose from, and don’t forget to check out the seasonal flavors!
For the martini, you’ll get two scoops of ice cream or sorbet…

…and a shot of Grand Marnier, Whipped Cream Vodka, or Rum!!

For mine, I chose to go with vanilla (which is more like a vanilla bean) and I wanted to try their seasonal flavor, which was pumpkin spice. The ice cream freezer is located directly next to the ordering area, so you can watch your martini being made.

Be on the lookout for an ice cream Mickey in the freezer, by the way!

For my alcohol, I thought the whipped cream vodka would go best with my flavor choices. Keep in mind that the Grand Marnier has an orange flavor to it!

So what’s the end result?

The alcohol and the ice cream almost immediately start mixing together, but don’t let the word martini fool you! You’ll still need a spoon to help out with the second scoop!
The creaminess of the ice cream will help mask the strength of the alcohol, so don’t be worried about it tasting too strong (even though it is, indeed, strong)!
Cheers, France!
It is, in my opinion, the perfect way to enjoy an adult beverage while still feeling like a kid all at the same time!

Going next month, I think this exact ice cream martini is now definitely on the bucket list!
Well, it may be a fun dessert, but a martini it is not. My husband is pretty fussy about martinis and hates the flavored trend. But if I said ice cream and booze dessert…
Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like a perfect way for my wife to toast the end of the festival on Monday.
Ooooooooh!!! <3
