Summer is synonymous with ice cream. When the weather gets scorching hot, nothing feels better than digging into the soft velvety texture and enjoying the coolness it brings.

夏天来了，又到了吃冰淇淋的季节。当天气变得酷热时，没有什么比吃爽滑可口的冰激凌地并享受其冰凉的感觉更好的了。

What makes it even more interesting and of course mouthwatering is that ice cream has evolved from simple colors and flavors. Some bizarre flavors are beyond imagining!

为了使冰激凌更有趣，也更令人垂涎三尺的是，冰淇淋已经从简单的颜色和口味演变成一些超乎想象的奇异的味道！

Maotai, a China's leading liquor maker, recently launched the world's first Moutai ice cream shop. The ice cream is made from a mixture of 53-degree Maotai liquor and pure milk ice cream. Some netizens even wondered: Does consuming Maotai ice cream before driving count as drunk driving?

近日，贵阳首家茅台冰淇淋旗舰店开业。该冰激凌由53度茅台酒和纯牛奶冰激凌混合而成。还有网友质疑：开车前吃茅台冰激凌算酒驾吗？
