That's it. And our mission is just as simple as our ingredients - to make people happy. 

We believe the two things that make people the happiest are ice cream and alcohol. So we handcraft every single Hardscoop to be downright divine. 

From using simple, delectable ingredients, to sourcing our milk from the finest farms - the result is high-quality, mouth-watering boozy ice cream.

Changing consumer demands have made the reach of traditional alcohol distribution antiquated and inefficient - even for the most creative and innovative brands in the alcohol industry. 

Not to mention, there is no easy way to distribute or purchase frozen alcohol products.

Hardscoop has developed a line of alcohol-infused ice cream and sorbet products that can be shipped nationwide.

We use direct-to-customer shipping and the power of e-commerce to reach an unprecedented amount of customers that traditional alcohol distribution simply cannot.

Hardscoop is a product that will bring…

• New industry category

• Distribution solution

• Enhanced purchasing convenience

The frozen novelties subcategory has been ironically heating up -  with dollar sales soaring $5.7B, and unit sales jumping 9.1% to $1.6B.

This means the direct-to-consumer space represents a huge opportunity.

With consumers spending less time shopping the aisles, easy-to-navigate and functional direct-to-consumer models will unlock much opportunity in the category.

We currently have a multi-state distribution, and here’s where that has led us...

• Sold to date over 110,000 pints 

• Sales increased 108% in 2020 over 2019.

• Created a line of alcohol products that meet regulatory criteria for legal, online distribution nationwide.

Permits registered and approved:

• Federal Distilled Spirits Permit 

• Federal Winery Permit 

• Federal Industrial Alcohol Manufacturing Permit

Registered Trademarks:

• Hardscoop

• Skinnyscoop

Hardscoop ice cream and sorbets are 8-10.5% ABV alcohol products. 

Each serving of Hardscoop is the alcohol equivalent to a glass of wine or beer - and sold by the pint.

And, just like every great recipe out there… Hardscoop is a trade secret process. But, we can give you a little sneak peek on why our ice cream is so good. 

To flavor our sorbets, we puree real fruit, freshly picked from local farms. Strawberries from North Carolina. Peaches from South Carolina. We’re committed to every step of the process — from grinding our own coffee beans to blending our own proprietary alcohol base.

We source our dairy from the finest local farms to create our decadent ice cream base. In fact, the quality of our dairy base places us in the “ultra-premium” category of ice cream — making for smoother, creamier spoonfuls.

Is your mouth watering yet? 

When it comes to our sales in retail locations, our current partners include Lowes Foods, Harris Teeter, Cost Plus World Market, and Total Wine.

And here’s where we are headed: 

• Expansion with sales online throughout the US.

• Growth in retail sales.

• Quickly and efficiently reach our market with ecommerce. 

• Cost Effective growth by eliminating burdensome overhead costs associated with traditional alcohol distribution.

Hardscoop is in the non-traditional alcohol category - which is growing exponentially. 

And with our obsessive eye on quality-control, we produce, pack, and ship all of our own products in-house. 

We are different because…

• Competitors are either ice creams with no alcohol, a tiny amount of alcohol, or use spirits that you can't ship.  We believe that we are the only alcohol ice cream with federal distillery and wine permits, allowing our registered flavors to be legally shipped to 40 plus states. 

• Our broad intellectual property portfolio makes for a strong competitive advantage. Thanks to our IP portfolio, we believe that our position is largely defensible, and as we continue to build our brand through increased marketing and branding campaigns — including our iconic packaging — we believe our control of this market is likely to hold firm.

Our products are new to the space - and we aim to keep taking our products to the next level. 

We will soon be expanding our line of products powered by our unique alcohol manufacturing process - all to be available nationwide.

This means going beyond our brick & mortar customer service at our flagship store in Charleston SC, and moving into major sports venues and theaters. We will then continue to grow and cultivate existing and new wholesale and retail accounts.

Future products include Skinnyscoop, a low calorie ice cream and sorbet, along with some unique Ready-to-Drink products.
