Paciugo Gelato & Caffè Showcases Beer-Infused Gelato Flavors

March 17, 2011 // Franchising.com // DALLAS – Paciugo Gelato & Caffè is celebrating St. Patrick's Day with robust beer-infused gelato flavors sure to charm the taste buds of its customers.

The family owned and operated company specializing in authentic Italian gelato will have on tap Guinness Irish Stout Gelato and Chocolate Guinness Gelato. Each flavor indulges the senses with the rich, smooth taste of gelato bolstered by a hint of beer, without the headache.

"We paired the most loved Irish beer, Guinness Irish Stout, with our creamy, sweet Italian gelato to toast the luck of the Irish," said Vincent Ginatta, co-founder of Paciugo Gelato & Caffè. "Paciugo welcomes all to share in the unique taste that will be sure to have everyone cheering for another round!"

Beer-infused Gelato contains less than 0.5% alcohol per serving and is made with wholesome ingredients like milk and sugar.

Guinness Irish Stout Gelato – This St. Patrick's Day specialty combines the creamy, rich gelato texture with the bitter, dark stout from the Emerald Isle. It is a perfect way to kick-off the St. Patrick's Day festivities.
Chocolate Guinness Gelato – This unusual, but tasty pairing, combines two favorites – chocolate and beer. The well-known, hearty flavor of Guinness is matched with rich, velvety dark chocolate.

The St. Patrick's Day promotional flavors are available for a limited time only. Please contact your nearest Paciugo Gelato & Caffè for more information.
