The frozen dessert begins with a sweet shandy custard. The luscious base is infused with Leinie’s Summer Shandy. The lemony beer flavor adds a tartness with a hint of hoppiness. Overall, the taste is bright and refreshing.
Several other Wisconsin favorite foods are folded into the custard. A cheese fudge swirl is more sweet than savory. It is just the right amount of richness to break up the lemon flavor.

Kringle, the classic Danish pastry, offers a buttery, slightly cinnamon note. While it does lose its flakiness in the custard, it is a nice nod to Racine.
Brandied cherries are studded throughout the custard. While this ice cream sandwich is not as potent as those supper club brandy old fashioned cocktails, they are sweet treasures to find in a bite.
Lastly, the custard is sandwiched between a corn shortbread cookie. The slightly savory cookie is the perfect contrast to the other sweet ingredients. With a sturdy texture, no one will worry about this cookie crumbling on the first bite.
