Salted Caramel Thanksgiving Turkey

The star of the Thanksgiving show, the turkey, gets an ice cream makeover in this unique flavor. The base is a rich, velvety caramel ice cream, swirled with a hint of smoky, savory turkey flavor. It might sound unusual, but the combination is surprisingly harmonious, capturing the essence of the holiday meal in every scoop.

Think of it as a sweet and savory symphony, where the caramel notes take the lead, and the turkey adds a subtle, intriguing depth. It's a flavor that will make your taste buds dance and your mind wander back to the family dinner table.

Pumpkin Pie Custard

No Thanksgiving spread would be complete without pumpkin pie, and Salt & Straw pays homage to this classic dessert in its November lineup. The Pumpkin Pie Custard flavor is a creamy, spiced pumpkin ice cream, swirled with a ribbon of buttery, flaky pie crust.

Each scoop is like a bite of pumpkin pie, but with the added delight of cold, creamy ice cream. The spices - cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove - warm you from within, while the pie crust adds a satisfying crunch. It's a flavor that's as comforting as it is indulgent.

Cozy Comforts

As the weather turns cooler, Salt & Straw also offers flavors that embody the cozy comforts of home. These flavors are like a warm hug on a chilly November day, inviting you to curl up with a scoop and a good book.

They're the flavors that remind us of the simple pleasures in life, the ones that make us appreciate the little things, like a quiet moment with a bowl of ice cream.

This flavor is a love letter to the classic PB&J, but with a grown-up twist. The base is a rich, velvety dark chocolate ice cream, swirled with a tangy, fruity blackberry jam. The combination is a perfect balance of sweet and tart, rich and fruity.

It's like biting into a ripe, juicy blackberry, then immediately being enveloped in the warmth of dark chocolate. It's a flavor that's both comforting and exciting, familiar yet unexpected. It's the kind of ice cream that makes you want to savor each bite, to really appreciate the dance of flavors on your tongue.

Apple Cider & Bourbon Caramel

This flavor is a celebration of the season's favorite beverage, apple cider, with a boozy twist. The base is a smooth, creamy apple cider ice cream, swirled with a ribbon of rich, buttery bourbon caramel.

Each scoop is like a sip of warm apple cider, followed by a smooth, lingering note of bourbon. It's a flavor that's both comforting and invigorating, like a cozy sweater paired with a brisk walk through the crisp autumn air.
