What Happens in Vegas Doesn’t Always Stay There

It doesn’t take more than a splash of gin on blueberry sorbet or rum on mango to go beyond an R rating for a frozen dessert. There is now a line of spiked sorbets and ice creams — once sold only in Las Vegas — that has become available nationwide. Our informal tasters enjoyed the intensely flavored sorbets: limoncello with limoncello liqueur, margarita with tequila, strawberry with sparkling wine and blackberry with cabernet sauvignon. There are several others, like strawberry daiquiri, that are still sold only in Nevada. The ice creams were less appealing and unlike the sorbets, featured concoctions like white Russian pecan that we’d never burden a bartender to mix.
