America’s
sport has transcended over time with glorifying the championship game to
include much more than football. The NFL’s
Super Bowl Sunday is just as much about the food and the entertainment as it is
about tossing the pig skin making the event enjoyable, all-inclusive, and
indulgent. New Orleans is the host city
this year allowing for an amazing influence on food and beverages served at
parties across the nation. While there
are certain food staples associated with Super Bowl Sunday, dessert is often
overlooked amongst them. Gelato is a
superb way to sweeten up the fare and drink for Super
Bowl XLVII.
We
have dessert covered this year. For an
impressive yet simple option serve or bring our Pino Gelato custom gelato cake
shaped and made to look like a football for guests to ogle over until dessert
time. The cake itself adds instant
thematic décor and is a favorite for all ages.
Another convenient option for hosting or attending a party is to bring
pints or quarts of various gelato flavors that can be used to top just about
any dessert. An idea would be to have
handheld mini pies, cakes, and other assorted favorite treats with a station
for guests to self-serve scoops to accompany their selection. Similarly, the gelato can be used with a
coffee bar set up to allow guests to create a pick-me up with espresso or
coffee and a variety of after-dinner liqueurs poured over their gelato flavor
of choice. The possibilities for gelato and dessert are endless and an ideal
fit for wowing people over on food-day/game-day.
New
Orleans lends easy menu selection in terms of drinks this Sunday with an array
of drinks representative of The Big Easy. Gelato can be used to add a fun and sweet
flair to the traditional preparation of The Hurricane, rum and tropical juices,
topped with a mini-scoop of coconut gelato will provide a sensational
presentation. NOLA is bustling with
stands peddling Frozen Daiquiri’s acclimating tourists with the local’s adoration
of the sweet concoction. Serve up vodka (or leave it out for a great
non-alcoholic option) blended with ice, fresh berries, and a scoop of fruit
flavored gelato or sorbetto to do the same for your crowd. Additionally, Craft beer and the Pimm’s Cup,
Pimm’s No. 1 liqueur and lemon-lime soda with a cucumber garnish, are important
drinks to the local region but are likely to be gleefully over looked against
the gelato infused beverage options.

and drink a bit sweeter this Super Bowl Sunday courtesy of gelato!
