bring ideas to life

Today’s children’s birthday parties have photo booths, face painting booths and the like.       

The food is also customized to cater to the kids’ palates. Sweet-style spaghettis, grilled hotdogs and marshmallows in a skewer, fried chicken, cake from Goldilocks with the celebrant’s name artfully written in bright color on the cake’s surface are staples in children’s birthday parties. And how could we miss the much anticipated ice cream in different flavors to cap the celebration.       

Now that we are adults, things have changed. We still party but we party like there’s no tomorrow. And when we speak of party, spaghettis, cakes and ice creams are no longer the images that come to our mind. Spaghetti is replaced by more complex sounding pastas like Sicilian, Aglio y Olio, Puttanesca or the more popular Carbonara, fried chicken by chicken lollipops, grilled hotdogs by grilled sausages, children’s cake by designer cake and ice cream by cocktail drinks.       

Don’t you just miss the old times?       

The child in their hearts and their being a certified partyphile inspired Pinky Jacob-Ileto, Arnel Bondoc, Patricia Gana, Mimi Manalo and Earl Yu to plan the business that is now known by the brand name, Lickqueur.       

“Lickqueur is an adult ice cream,” shared Ileto, business development manager of M33 The Company, Inc., which produces Lickqueur. “The idea is to combine indulgence and alcohol in one,” she added.       

“Adult ice cream isn’t really a new concept but Lickqueur is the first in the country,” Ileto said. “There is already a similar concept in Bangkok, Thailand and in the US. We are just bringing it here,” she added.       

The idea was conceptualized in 2007 but it took the proprietors two years to come up with a product that is ready for commercial launch. After a series of surveys, product development studies and experimentations, Lickqueur was launched in October 2009 and is currently serving six different flavors.       

“Right now, we have Margarita Passion, Sinfully Butterscotch, After Midnight Mint, OMG!!! Screaming Orgasm, Strawberry Orgasm and Paint the Town Orange” Ileto said. “But among these flavors, Margarita Passion is really the bestseller,” she revealed.

Barely six months after Lickqueur’s launch, the buzz about Lickqueur spread like wildfire. They have already been featured in a number of blogs, in several national dailies and on TV. In fact, a few weeks after the launch, they were tapped to serve adult ice cream in an MTV-sponsored event with more than 5,000 attendees. Offtake is also on steady rise according to Ileto. And the company attributes this to the novelty of the concept as well as to the quality of the product.       

“We only use premium alcohol to ensure that you get the kick from our ice without getting a bad hangover,” she revealed. “The intent really is not to get people drunk but to get people to enjoy the product,” Ileto added.
