“Butter pecan ice cream is a very popular flavour in America,” says the drink’s creator, Ellery Low. “But in Australia not many people have heard of it and it’s hard to find in most ice cream parlours.

“This drink is strong as the bourbon comes through, but is also silky and sweet from the Licor 43 and cultured butter. The pecan offers a dry nuttiness for balance.”
