Fun Friday food fact: Texas has many official symbols, including a state nut. And, no, we’re not talking about Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
Whether you pronounce it pee-can or puh-kahn, some things just make pecans — Texas’ official state nut — irresistible.
Garrison Bros. distillery gets that, and has partnered with California-based McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams to create a limited-edition pecan and praline ice cream. The distillery, by the way, is located in Hye, about an hour north of San Antonio.
Garrison Bros. Whiskey Pecan & Praline ice cream features smooth, sweet and smoky Garrison Bros. Small Batch Bourbon, Central Coast milk, cream and salt-roasted, caramel-coated pecans.
Sounds like that checks all the boxes for indulgence.
The seasonal flavor will only be available for a limited time, starting Friday, February 12. Pints of the are available for online purchase at the McConnell’s website. Each pint runs $12, plus shipping.
And since the production process for the ice cream removes all the alcohol from the whiskey, an ID check isn’t required.
So many restaurants, so little time. Find out the latest San Antonio dining news with our Flavor Friday Newsletter.
