Long before opening his ice cream cart, Chad Draizin, owner of Fifty Licks (2021 SE Clinton St., 954-294-8868, fifty-licks.com),
brewed beer. Now that he's moved up from a cart to a proper building on
Clinton Street, Draizin is getting back into booze. He's not making
it—and he isn't licensed to sell the hard stuff—but Draizin has
concocted a wide-ranging menu of boozy sorbets using plum wine, mead and
Cocchi Americano, an Italian aperitif (all $8). They're grown-up
floats—restrained in sweetness, with citrus or bitters to balance them
out—served in little cocktail glasses. They're a pleasant sip while
listening to Yo La Tengo or Huey Lewis at little tables in or outside of
this little shop of wood, tile and coffee cans. Our staff enjoyed them
even on a crisp, cold day—how long until summer 2014?
