I actually found out about the liquor ice cream parlor during the flight delay to Iguazu in an in-flight magazine. I read an article describing a recent trend of ice cream made with liquor, which is supposed to enhance the flavor and creaminess of the ice cream. The magazine listed a few parlors who specialized in this, and to our luck, there was one in Palermo- just a few blocks from my host apartment! A liquor ice cream parlor is something I don't think we'd find back in the states, so we put it on our "must-do" list!

The flavor the magazine recommended was Baileys: ice cream made from the Irish Liquor itself! So when we arrived at the ice cream shop, we all asked for a sample...and loved it! The parlor makes its own ice cream and had many other flavors as well (minus the liquor aspect), so I ended up getting the Baileys flavor as well Chocolate Morroc (Moroccan Chocolate) that had pieces of chocolate candy inside. Not only was it handmade, a great value, and fun...but it was super delicious! I don't think it's possible to eat a bad ice cream cone here in Buenos Aires. It's all heavenly! We ended up staying in the parlor for over 3 hours, just talking and enjoying each other's company. It was a good way to celebrate the end of a "semester" in Argentina.
