Even though many are already going back to school, this [bourbon ice cream sandwich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubbies-mini-ice-cream-cookie-sandwiches) is something adults have to try before the summer's end -- especially if you live in London.

From Blu Top Ice Cream, the limited offer ice cream sandwich not only features a bourbon whisky old fashion-flavored ice cream, it also plays sweet and salty off against each other with [cinnamon snickerdoodle cookies and salted pretzels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-brown-butter-cookie-dazzler) as garnish.

You can also get the bourbon ice cream as a [boozy shake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipsy-scoop-kraken-ship-wrecked) with chocolate sauce, marshmallow fluff, digestive biscuits, Woodford Reserve and a giant toasted marshmallow on top. So it's essentially a fancier alcoholic and drinkable version of a s'more. You cannot go wrong.
