Richardson 150th Ice Cream Flavor Winner Announced
Local ice cream shop Tongue In Cheek announced this week that after two weeks of community taste testing and voting, “Lockwood Chocolate Bourbon Crack” has been chosen as the “Richardson flavor” of ice cream to celebrate Richardson’s 150th anniversary. The winning flavor has a chocolate ice cream base swirled with Lockwood Bourbon, caramel, Lockwood Chocolate Crème Liqueur, house-made fudge and Tongue In Cheek’s caramel “crack” pieces.
“Lockwood Chocolate Bourbon Crack” received 53 percent of the votes, a close win over “Richardson Wildflower,” a mix of lavender and lemon vanilla ice creams swirled together with homemade honeycomb crunch pieces.
From now until the City’s 150th anniversary celebration on June 24, “Lockwood Chocolate Bourbon Crack” will be available for sale at Tongue In Cheek, 526 W. Arapaho Rd., and will then be sold, along with “Richardson Wildflower,” at the anniversary celebration from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
