"And since presentation is key, the absinthe is administered from a drip bag into a pink water gun and fired at a heated sugar cube, which drops into the ice cream," Springwise says. Beginning this fall, The Icecreamists' The Sex Pistol ice cream will be sold at [Selfridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-crisp-egg) in London for the equivalent of about $20.
