We get asked fairly frequently if we have any non-alcoholic flavors and this little sweetheart is here to affirm the fact that, yes, we sure do! Doncha just love a chocolate ice cream face… 😆 In addition to our delicious chocolate we got vanilla, strawberry, peppermint cream, cinnamon bun and cookies -n- cream, with two dairy free sweet treats as well, bubble gum and cotton candy! We think your little ones will love ‘em too!
A mostly cloudy day today with a 40% chance of morning and afternoon showers. That sun will be trying to peek through and win or lose that battle the temps will rise to near 90 degrees. More of the same tomorrow but Friday is looking fabulous for live Texas tunes with Joel Scarbrough Music as he makes his way from Tennessee to McKinney!
We might be known for servin’ up the boozy goodness but we’re a family oriented establishment at heart. While mom and dad enjoy a little somethin’ special we take good care of the young’uns so they’re havin’ a good time too! We got sweet treats for the whole family here at YOUR friendly neighborhood Ice Cream Barlor so bring ‘em on by to say hi… 😊

Got a red, white and blue Sunday sundae today made with all dairy free and very refreshing sorbets! Raspberry Mellow Yellow in the first spot, Pina Colada holding place number two and Blue Hawaiian Daiquiri bringing up the rear! It may be simple but it sure is delicious! Stick 3 cherries on it for extra good luck… 🍒
Sunday scripture: Acts 3:10 KJB… “And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.”
The “they” in the above verse are those Jews gathered for the Pentecost feast of weeks or Shavuot, the giving of the law to Moses. They’ve just witnessed a miracle performed by Peter and John whereby a man lame from birth can now run and leap! They think these men by themselves have worked some magic upon him. Peter corrects…
Acts 3:12 KJB… “And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?”
…it is the Holy Spirit of God sent from Christ Himself by “faith in His name” (v. 16) who healed this man, as was written so many years previous (Isa 35).
Peter is preparing to preach again a charge of murder to cause them to repent of their error.
Acts 3:13 KJB… “The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.”
Abraham, Issac and Jacob are not the fathers of any Gentile nation; they are the fathers of Israel. Pilate, a Gentile ruler who oversaw the trial Christ endured, encouraged the Jews to release Him; but they refused.
Acts 3:14-15 KJB… “But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.”
This charge however is reduced to one of involuntary manslaughter (if you will) as both Christ Himself (Luke 23:34) and now Peter attest…
Acts 3:17 KJB… “And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.”

We sure hope everyone had a fun 4’th of July! We definitely did and we raise our pickle shots in honor of ya! Yeah, I said pickle shots cause what goes better with boozy ice cream then boozy pickle shots… 😆 Oh, and no, none of the Cocktail Creamery gals are pregnant… 🤣 Sharyn just digs pickle juice, had one of these shots down in Port Aransas and wanted to bring ‘em here. I guess if you dig pickle juice too you’re gonna dig pickle shots. Me, I wouldn’t drink one on a dare, even though I like pickles, blah… 🤢
We had some rain rip through our area about 6:00 PM yesterday but that was nothing compared to what fell down in Hill County. The Guadalupe River rose some 25 feet in about an hour causing flash flooding and severe damage over its banks. Some folks couldn’t get out of the way fast enough and some are still missing. Our prayers are with all our Texas brothers and sisters; for those who suffered loss and for those involved in rescue efforts. May the lost be soon found.
We ought to see a mix of clouds and sun up here in McKinney with a 20% chance of rain showers early, diminishing as the day turns into night. Warm out there with highs in the mid 80’s and lows not much lower then the mid 70’s. More of the same tomorrow too.
The weekend’s in full swing and if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ different to do, you can swing by our place for pickle shots, or not… 😉 I’m thinkin’ the boozy ice cream and crafty cocktails taste a whole lot better, but what do I know? I know one thing; I ain’t makin’ a pickle flavored ice cream… 😂 Y’all have a mighty fine day and we’ll hope to see ya downtown soon… 😁

What a fun day it’s gonna be today! We got downtown McKinney 4’th of July parades; and yes, we are opening early! We got 4’th of July fireworks, gotta love fireworks! It just happens to be a Friday, we love Fridays cause the weekend begins and we got live music here at the shop! Tonight it’s Brad Davis like you never heard him before, with his electric trio featuring Craig Langford on bass guitar and Tyler Thompson on the drum kit! Friends, if you dig straight-up kick-ass rock -n- roll, you don’t wanna miss this… 😎 We’re gonna throw the door open wide and let freedom ring!
We got us a mix of sun and clouds today and I see some spotty showers on my radar app. I’m goin’ out on the limb to say none of those are gonna fall near us today… 😉 The possibilities exist for Saturday and Sunday too but this is just typical summer weather here in Texas. Highs in the upper 80’s and overnight lows in the low 70’s.
Today we celebrate individual liberty, freedom and independence, as these traits lead to the best living this life has to offer. Dependency is what leads to tyranny as it creates the conditions where one cedes personal control and the power of self-determinism over to another. When Ben Franklin was asked what the group of founding fathers created here in America, his reply was “a republic, if you can keep it.” As we celebrate our independence from the king of England, reflect upon whether or not another king (wearing either a blue shirt or a red) has been created in the form of federal dependence across all walks of life. Have we kept it, or do we need to come together as Americans and work harder towards that shared goal? Our government was designed to preserve our God given human rights, not to grant them to us as it sees fit.

Made it back from a successful trip to Snoopy's Pier on Sunset Island last night. Got a whole bunch of flavors made and left it all in the good hands of Steve and Kim Gotberg! Wanted to give ya one last look around and encourage anyone in the Corpus Christi area to visit this wonderful and historic location! For 40 years they’ve been taking great care of people! The food is fabulous, the folks are friendly and the ice cream is now good -n- boozy… 😉 The sunset views sitting outside right on the water are simply stunning and during the summer months there’s karaoke every single night! This place is a party y’all and you can get there by car or by boat!
It’s a bit cooler and mostly cloudy up here today, there’s a 30% chance of showers too, I can see ‘em on the radar. It’ll be a hit/miss kinda day with a high temp at about 85 degrees. More of the same early tomorrow but things clear up for Friday Night Live with Brad Davis and his amazing electric trio! The rest of the weekend looks mighty fine too!
There’s good things happening all over Texas tonight but y’all can only find the boozy goodness in two places; right here in McKinney and down at the coast in Corpus Christi! It’s summertime and the living is easy, hit it Ella… youtu.be/fKSq_gmfe40?si=f638kaKI4ReWPoth 😊 Get a jumpstart on the weekend and come see us tonight, the lights are on till 10:00 in both locations!

What our customers say about us
Sheri B2023-08-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AMAZING!!!! The best real adult ice cream!!! The bourbon based ones are my favorites!!! Jasmine Stillwell2023-08-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love this place! We always find ourselves wanting to stop by for a treat. Strawberry dreams is my favorite ❤️ LaNelle Renfro2023-08-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There’s nothing better than looking for one business, and finding something that you didn’t even know was an option. Cocktail Creamery was so good that I definitely will have to come back to try other items on the menu. Staff is super friendly and it has a very down home feel. There were so many items on the menu, that I was getting frustrated, trying to make a decision LOL. Infused ice cream, shakes, gelato, etc. JUST YUM! Tommy Tyrrell2023-06-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loved everything we tried. Affogato and flights were great for sharing and sampling many different flavors. Can’t see how anyone be disappointed. Kathy Nielsen2023-06-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I came here the other night and let me tell you, it was so good! Such a cute location, friendly staff and delishfully boozy treats! Nirmal Kurian2023-06-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Besides the alcohol, the ice cream quality itself is amazing. If you are visiting McKinney downtown, don't leave without trying their ice creams. Salted caramel is my go-to.
