Tastemaker: Bud’s Moscow Mule Ice Cream
A single bite of Bud’s Moscow Mule ice cream is all the buzz you need. Light and lime-y, with a tiny bit of an effervescent bite, it’s alcohol-free and as refreshing as a summer scoop should be. Best of all, sometimes you can find it — along with many other hand-dipped flavors — scraped from the bottom of their giant barrels, packed into pint and quart containers, and priced half off in the fridge opposite the counter. Regular pints are $4.79, regular quarts $6.98. The single scoop, in a sugar cone, shown here was still worth every penny: $3.33. Find It: Bud’s is located at 3061 M-137 in Interlochen.
