Ice cream for 2 used to be a standard feature in corner malt shops and soda fountains that were favorite hangouts for the high school crowd. Individuals would take their dates to the ice cream shop to be seen and share social time. Ice cream for 2 became a way to create a more intimate atmosphere between two people as well as make a declaration that they were a couple.

Served in large glasses, ice cream sodas hold the top place for vintage ice cream beverage that’s perfect for sharing. Made with ice cream and either carbonated water or soda – depending on which part of the country you’re in – simply add two straws and a couple has a tasty treat for date time fun.

Whether they’re called a ‘malted’ or a milkshake, they’re high on the list of old-time favorites for sharing. Served in a large glass, the thick, creamy creations melt slowly, making them an ideal treat for sharing over conversation. Technically speaking, a malted is made with malted milk powder that gives it a slightly nutty flavor while milkshakes contain soft ice cream or yogurt, but the lines have been significantly blurred between the two over the years.

Served in a fancy dish rather than a glass, ice cream sundaes offer multiple flavor combinations from which to choose and share. Covered in syrup, nuts, whipped cream and garnished with a cherry, the treat was created to circumvent Blue Laws that made it illegal to sell soda on Sunday, one of the prime ingredients in ice cream sodas.

Last but not least is the banana split, a favorite since its invention in 1904. It was considered a variation of the sundae and has since established itself as a stand-alone ice cream dessert. The banana split is covered in nuts, whipped cream, syrup and fruit likes its sundae cousin, but the addition of a split banana was a game changer. It was invented on a Sunday, but the spelling was changed to appease local church officials.

Today, vintage-style ice cream shops are springing up in unexpected places and featuring ice cream for 2 specialties that are reminiscent of a by-gone era. Many established ice cream shops are now offering special sizes and bringing back the unique ambiance of a soda shop. The ice cream parlors make a perfect option for a memorable date experience and they’re equally desirable for those that want to return to a cherished time from their teens.

The post Vintage Date Ideas: Ice Cream for 2 appeared first on Frostbite Nitrogen Ice Cream.

Here in Florida, we have so many perfect places to plan your first date, you may be overwhelmed by which activities suit you best.  A walk along the beach is romantic and holding hands in the park are the stuff that dreams are made of but try a little harder if you really want to impress.

Here at Frostbite Nitrogen Ice Cream, we love to watch love blossom across the tables in our very own steampunk cafe.  But, because we also love our neighborhood, here are some fun and unusual ideas on how to impress on your first date this summer.

1. Go fruit picking

Everyone loves fruit, right?  Florida is full of U-Pick farms and spending an hour or so picking up delicious goodies is a fun way to break the ice and get to know each other better.  You will be busy looking for the cream of the crop, so no awkward silences, and you will have something to take away with you to enjoy later.  Choose from regular fruit like strawberries, blueberries, grapes or peaches, or show your exotic side with persimmons, star fruit or avocados.

2. Try Ice Skating

Ice skating is an instant leveler.  No matter what you do in your day to day life (unless you are a professional skater, of course), ice skating is a great way to both enter the ring on an equal footing.  Staying upright is hysterical and you have no choice but to stop worrying about what you look like and lean on each other for support.  Laughs are easy to come by on an ice skating date.

3. Book a dance lesson

Salsa and Latin dance classes are a great way to express your more passionate side in the most innocent way possible.  Dancing is good for the soul and even if you think you have two left feet, a great instructor will be able to get you moving.  Fun, fast paced and a great talking point, a dance lesson is a fantastic way to spend your first date together.

4. Go See A Movie, Outside

A trip to a movie theater is probably the most popular first date idea of all time. But, when you’re in the dark, watching the action on screen, you have very little opportunity to interact with each other.  Find an outdoor screen, where you can still watch the movie, but also talk to each other at the same time.  And if the date goes well, what could be more romantic than snuggling up together on a blanket, watching a movie under a starry night sky?

5. Go for Ice Cream

Show your date that you take your taste in ice cream seriously by introducing them to some of the creamiest, freshest and tastiest ice cream to be found anywhere in Florida.  Here at Frostbite Nitrogen Ice Cream, our Nitrogen Ice Cream comes in a huge variety of flavors and can be mixed with as many toppings, sauces and sweet treats as you would like.

Our steampunk themed cafe comes complete with unique decor, friendly staff, and super tasty frozen treats, and because we love our customers too, we will be discreetly cheering you on from the sidelines too!
