Own a Tipsy Scoop Franchise
Serve up liquor-infused ice cream and craft cocktail sundaes in your own brick-and-mortar Barlour.
Brand overview
Born in a New York City kitchen in 2014, Tipsy Scoop was one of the first alcohol-infused ice cream companies in the world. The brand blends the nostalgia of ice cream with the indulgence of a craft cocktail, creating unique boozy flavors that are delicious and highly shareable. As a franchise owner, you operate a small-footprint Barlour serving boozy ice cream flights, cocktail sundaes, and event packages. There is no on-site production required, as inventory is conveniently supplied through a local distributor.
