D'USSÉ Cognac and Tipsy Scoop have partnered to release a limited-edition Caramel Swirl Cognac Affogato ice cream flavor for the holiday season. The collaboration marks an expansion of D'USSÉ's product offerings beyond its core spirits portfolio. The flavor combines a rich espresso ice cream base swirled with caramel and infused with D'USSÉ Cognac. It will be available through January 10.
Pricing and Availability At Tipsy Scoop Barlours and via direct order, single pints are priced at $16 for local pickup or delivery in markets with a physical storefront. Consumers outside Tipsy Scoop's service areas can order four-pint packs for $99.95 (before shipping and taxes) through Goldbelly and TipsyScoop.com.
Why It Matters
The collaboration signals growing appetite among spirits brands to partner with CPG and foodservice players to reach consumers in new contexts. Spiked ice cream has emerged as a seasonal gifting category, particularly around the holidays, as operators test product extensions aimed at at-home entertaining.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the actual retail price point for D'USSÉ and Tipsy Scoop's new cognac ice cream?
$16 per pint for local pickup or delivery at Tipsy Scoop Parlours, or $99.95 for a four-pint pack shipped via Goldbelly and TipsyScoop.com. That works out to roughly $25 per pint for out-of-area consumers — premium positioning that signals spirits brands are treating ice cream as a luxury gifting vehicle, not a volume play.
How long is the D'USSÉ Caramel Swirl Cognac Affogato available?
January 10 is the hard cutoff date. This is classic limited-edition scarcity marketing — spirits brands are using seasonal windows to create urgency and drive repeat purchase behavior before the product disappears.
Where can consumers actually buy this product?
Tipsy Scoop Parlours for local delivery and pickup in their service markets, TipsyScoop.com for direct orders, and Goldbelly nationally. D'USSÉ is leveraging multiple channels to capture impulse gifters and CPG repeat buyers simultaneously.
Why are spirits brands moving into spiked ice cream?
Spiked ice cream is now a proven seasonal gifting category, particularly around holidays when at-home entertaining peaks. D'USSÉ partnering with Tipsy Scoop reaches consumers in a foodservice and CPG context simultaneously — a more efficient path than traditional spirits retail alone.
What flavor profile is D'USSÉ using for this collaboration?
Espresso ice cream base with caramel swirl infused with D'USSÉ Cognac — positioned as an affogato format. The cognac-forward mashup targets premium at-home entertaining occasions, not casual weeknight consumption.
