The Texas heat... it’s coming.
Pretty soon, your 10-yard walk from car to office will feel like a sweaty, scorching death march.

- Wine Ice Shots: three shot glasses of homemade sorbet (vanilla, chocolate, raspberry) bathing in a pool of apple ice wine—incidentally, your favorite way to cool off.
- The Champagne Float: a bubbly merging of mango-bourbon ice cream and a mini bottle of champagne. Nothing connects bubbly and mangoes like bourbon.
- The Port Sundae: a huge glass packed with three vanilla scoops, a cinnamon crumble, whipped cream, a sugar stick and one chocolate-covered cherry—all soaked in a port shot.
