Mmmm... gelatinis

So a few friends and I made the long trek downtown (read: comfortable, traffic-free 20 minute drive) to go to this place that one of them had heard about. It is primarily a gelato shop, with dozens of wonderful flavors of freshly made gelato on hand. It is also a bar, and they combine the two concepts with surprising result. Their signature cocktails are "gelatinis," which are blended concoctions of -- you guessed it, gelato and booze. I had a grapefruit gelato and vodka drink, as well as a raspberry lemonadey thing. They had chocolatey ones, and many other types of fruity ones, and it was super cool and cheap to boot, due to the "It's 30 outside right now, wouldn't you like some ice cream" promotion they had going on.

Anyway, I just wanted to share the fact that someone out there is making new cocktails and my, are they tasty. No, you can't have it -- there are only two locations and the other one's in Ft. Collins, Colorado.
