Pride tastes pretty sweet around here.🌈

Celebrate with a Rainbow Sweet Cream scoop from Sweet Action and a special high-ball style Pride cocktail from Retrograde “To Wong Foo with Love” made with blanco tequila, bergamont, watermelon aqua fresca and topped with an almond foam.

The best part? 25% of sales from both go directly to The Center on Colfax to support the incredible work they do for Denver's LGBTQ+ community.

A little treat for you, a little love for the community. Now that's something worth raising a glass (or cone) to.

Not every garnish sits on top of the glass. Sometimes it's an expressed citrus oil, a subtle aroma or a texture layered in to reveal itself with every sip.

Here, every detail has its purpose, especially when transporting you into another realm behind the freezer door. Have you discovered Uptown’s favorite neighborhood bar yet? 🍦
