A Tropical Getaway in Every Bite
One lick of San Bernardo’s creamy Loco4Coco® ice cream and I’m back on my lounge chair under a canopy of palm trees, breeze in my hair, salt water on my skin, ready for my next Caribbean adventure. That’s the best part about flavor done right – it’s a full body experience that nourishes the soul and brings back your most cherished of memories. This ice cream is extra special because it’s not only rich and creamy, but flakes of coconut texture add the impression that I’m eating an actual coconut.
Tropical Flavors Just Hit Different
It’s no surprise tropical ice cream flavors are fan favorites – their vibrant hues, refreshing flavors and associations with exotic, sunny destinations exude pure happiness. They are often the perfect complement to a meal as a side dish, palette cleanser, cocktail or dessert fusion.
San Bernardo’s range of super premium flavors including Cactus Pearfection®, Guanaban-ahhh®, Mamey Magic®, Loco4Coco®, Guava Have It® and Mango Fiesta® have been used to liven up many a meal. Each one offers a bold, bright flavor that’s as delightful as it is unexpected. The selection of sorbets including Lemon, Mango, Passion Fruit, Pineapple and Watermelon are equally refreshing and delicious.
Elevate Your Dining Experience With Ice Cream
There’s no reason to make ice cream an afterthought or a separate event; there are so many fun, creative ways to wrap it into a meal so that it elevates the dining experience.
The Ice Cream Cocktail
The best beginning to a vacation-inspired evening would no doubt include a Cactus Crutch which has such a brilliant purple-pink color it’s equal parts fashion accessory and cocktail. The Cactus Pearfection ice cream in this concoction is blended with Tequila Blanco and lime for a cheery, delicious, out of this world cocktail.
If you’re more in the mood for a mocktail The Dragon Mango Tango pairs San Bernardo’s Mango Sherbet with a mango lemonade and a dragon fruit sugar rim. It’s sunny and refreshing.
The Powerful Palate Cleanser
There’s nothing I appreciate more than when a high-end restaurant serves a palette cleanser in between courses. A refreshing sorbet or tropical ice cream nicely resets the taste buds for a new experience. Personally, I like the way a light and zesty lemon sorbet works. The initial sharpness in flavor overpowers any previous tastes but doesn’t linger too long so as to leave you ready for whatever comes next. For a slightly richer experience a coconut like the San Bernardo Loco4Coco ice cream works nicely.
The Perfect Ending
One of my absolute favorite warm weather desserts is Mango Fiesta ice cream served over sticky rice with a drizzle of coconut milk syrup over top. It’s the ideal Thai-inspired afternoon snack or the perfect end to a summer evening out – not too heavy and filled with refreshing flavors. The combination of the subtly sweet and chewy rice with the burst of mango flavor that melts in your mouth is heavenly. It’s hard for me to stop at one serving.
Bring the Tropics to Your Table
From cocktails to dessert pairings and imaginative recipes in between, San Bernardo’s tropical ice cream flavors offer a taste of sunshine—no passport required. Whether you’re winding down a summer evening or kicking off a celebration, there’s a tropical flavor to match the moment.
