This year for Wimbledon, Mazetti Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and Four Winters Ice Cream Parlour teamed up to create 'Break the Serve,' a dessert that comes with a tennis racquet and a chocolate shell that needs to be smashed. Once the decadent treat has been broken into, consumers will find a cooling ice cream core that's accented with balsamic vinegar, caramel sauce and vibrant, fresh strawberries—putting a twist on the classic pairing of strawberries and cream.
Earlier this year, tennis player Andy Murray underwent surgery and after this, much to the excitement of fans, recently won matches at the annual Queen's Club Championship tournament. To celebrate, Four Winters Ice Cream Parlour is offering complimentary treats to anyone named Andy with identification to prove their name.
