If you eat… don’t drive!

Mixx is an ice-cream shop in Ecuador‘s city of Cuenca that sure knows what Latins like!

Too much to choose from...

I’m a very regular kind of girl when it comes to ice-cream. Give me a scoop of chocolate or mint chocolate chip and you’ll see me smile like a kiddo.

But… if you need an alternative method to make me smile even more, get me tipsy with ice-cream. That’s right, ice-cream!

This ice-cream will make you see sprinkles!

Apart from the array of typical flavors and exotic fruit treats that Mixx offers, customers get their kicks with the alcoholic versions that include:

  • Red Bull & Jaegermeister
  • Cuba Libre
  • Vodka & Orange
  • Baileys
  • Margarita
  • Brandy
  • Beer
  • Whisky

We were recommended this frozen gem by a virtual Ecuadorian friend on reddit.com and enjoyed a Cuba Libre and Screwdriver treat in the cold weather.

Funny thing about these ice-creams is that they feel totally refreshing in the mouth but leave you with a warm sensation in the throat, that suits you just nice on a rainy day in Cuenca!

  • I’m not a fan of boozy desserts myself, but i would try the cuba libre, or perhaps the vermouth with lemon..

      I’m not a fan of alcoholic deserts myself – particularly fruit salad with Port Wine, like they do in Portugal sometimes! :S But you’d be surprised how well it goes in ice-cream!! :)

  • We tried Champagne Gelato in Rome and Pina Colada in Sardinia… but all these flavors look amazing. Seems like we have a good reason to go Ecuador! :)

    Now I’m getting hungry and dreaming of Gelate! :) I’m off to Lisbon and Fatima in July so I can’t wait to dig into some of my favourite Portuguese treats!

      Agness, if you like gelato, do not miss SANTINIS when you’re in Lisbon!
      It’s a very popular ice-cream place in Baixa-Chiado, right next to the well-known Armazens do Chiados. Sometimes the lines are crazy.. but the treats are so good! :)

    I have seen that every person tries his best to express his feelings but he is not able to express his feelings properly in words but the content you have written in your post is very beautiful, it seems that you have written your own words. feelings are expressed. Hi, you are a very beautiful post writer, similarly keep writing new posts in your life, our best wishes are with you.
