Andy Cohen's Holiday Clementine's Ice Cream Flavor Is Now Available
Ice cream lovers know that there's never a bad time to enjoy the icy treat, not even during the holiday season. Just as the weather turns frosty, a press release from Clementine's Naughty and Nice Creamery has announced that the Missouri-based brand will be re-launching "Peppermint Andy," a seasonal flavor created with St. Louis' Andy Cohen, host of Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live," in support of the non-profit DOORWAYS.
"We are honored to partner with Andy and DOORWAYS again this year on this special flavor," said Tamara Keefe, the CEO and Flavor Temptress of Clementine's Creamery. "What a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday season with a delicious ice cream that will also benefit a most worthy organization in our community."
Founded in 2014 by Keefe, Clementine's Naughty and Nice Creamery is a small-batch micro-creamy that focuses on quality ingredients like local dairy from grass-fed, pasture-raised, and hormone-free cows. Offering an array of flavors — in addition to vegan and spiked options — the creamery is pleased to once again offer patrons pints of Peppermint Andy. Made with a pink peppermint dairy base, the ice cream is sprinkled with pieces of crushed King Leo peppermint candies and dark chocolate flakes.
Fresh and minty, Peppermint Andy is also sure to deliver on decadence. But that's not all.
Fifty percent of proceeds will benefit DOORWAYS
An act of holiday charity, half of the proceeds from every Peppermint Andy sale will be donated to the St. Louis non-profit known as DOORWAYS, which provides affordable and secure housing and services for people living with HIV and AIDS. To contribute to this year's efforts (last year over $12,000 was donated), pints can be purchased at any of the six Clementine's Creamery locations or online and can be shipped across the U.S.
"Andy Cohen has been a steadfast DOORWAYS supporter and friend for many, many years," said Opal Jones, President and CEO of DOORWAYS. "It's wonderful to see Clementine's honor him again this year with this ice cream collaboration! Peppermint is known as both a remedy and a delightful essence — two characteristics among Andy's many traits. He helps improve the lives of people in need — such as our DOORWAYS clients — through his generous and kind spirit."
In addition to Peppermint Andy, fans can also expect seasonal flavors like the marshmallow-rich S'mores or Vegan Cranberry Walnut, crafted with an orange and cinnamon-infused coconut milk base, swirled cranberry compote, and candied walnuts. For a boozier scoop, the creamery is also offering Hot Buttered Rum, made with warm spices, brown sugar, and a flavorful splash of dark rum.
