Former Barstool Caleb Presley’s Brand Booth Ice Cream Collaboration
Craig Reynolds, Founding Director of the California Agave Council, speculates on the tequila shortage and why many California distillers are turning to agave-based spirits over the ‘Kennedy’.
Peanut butter fans everywhere can now enjoy the rich, roasted aroma of one of the world’s most popular spreads while enjoying the buzz.
Chica Chida, an agave spirit made with allergen-free peanut butter, has teamed up with Tipsy Scoop to release “Peanut Butter and Jealousy,” a brand known for its drinkable ice cream. The flavor, aptly named for Broken and Jealous, launched just in time for Valentine’s Day.
“Tipsy Scoop is obviously known for boozy ice cream, so what better way to use it?” The brand’s co-founder, Sam Hirsch, told FOX Business. “It came together very naturally.”

Drink-infused grape jelly, peanut butter ice cream mixed with chica~chida for a nostalgic treat. Each pint contains 5% ABV.
“I was very excited when I was told about the possibility of a collaboration,” Hirsch said. “It was a no-brainer for us.”
Chika Chida is made by Tequila, MexicoUsing espadin, a species of agave.
“It’s not technically tequila, because we’re not using blue agave,” Hirsch told FOX Business.
The unique flavor was created by a product designed for the shooter category, although the flavor has sparked innovation among hybridists.

Some of the most popular recipes using Chica Chida include Peanut Butter and Jelly Shots, Peanut Butter Espresso Martinis, and Hot Chocolate.

Presley recently announced his departure from Barstool to start his own production company, Bill Joe Productions.
The podcaster’s biological father, Billy Joe, was a NASCAR driver and Presley passed away at a young age. Presley met his stepfather Bill Lee Joe when he was six years old.
“My stepdad came into my house and was a really good father to me,” Presley said. “There’s never been a day that I didn’t feel like I didn’t have a dad. He was a big rock for me and my brother.”
