I Scream You Scream – part 2

To celebrate, I have teamed up with my very creative Alaskan friend and Instagrammer, Carissa Pearce, “The Fermented Alaskan“. We decided to come up with some refreshing adult ways to celebrate National Ice Cream Soda Day! Check Carissa’s blog The Fermented Alaskan for her take on adult versions of the ice cream soda.

Here are my suggestions for ways to celebrate. I scream, you scream, we all scream for (boozy adult) ice cream (sodas)! Enjoy!
