It looks and tastes like ice cream, but because of its alcohol content, it can't be called ice cream. Developed at the University of Minnesota by leading scientists, Blend's® relies on unique formulation and manufacturing methods to stabilize the alcohol molecule and prevent it from interacting with the ice crystal and milk proteins found in ice cream.

A patent on the stabilization process is pending. The process makes it possible to combine real liquors and liqueurs with ice cream for a frozen, solid ice cream-type product.

Both the ATF and FDA have determined that Blend's® is a distilled spirit because it's intoxicating. Thus, it can only be sold to and consumed by legal adults. The products are marketed by The Ice Cream Bar, Inc., Minneapolis.
