    PROOF Hard Ice Cream introduced its new Chocolate Espresso Martini flavored hard ice cream in select Costco warehouse locations beginning Feb. 9, just in time for the big game and Valentine’s Day.

    Costco members in Southern California and Honolulu, more specifically locations in Cypress, Hawthorne, Huntington Beach, Marina Del Rey, San Juan Capistrano, San Luis Obispo, Torrance, Fontana and Victorville, Calif., and in Iwilei, Honolulu, can purchase Chocolate Espresso Martini flavored hard ice cream.

    “We are pleased to offer this bold new product exclusively to Costco members in Southern California and Hawaii,” said Jenn Randall, founder and CEO, PROOF Hard Ice Cream. “Our Chocolate Espresso Martini flavored hard ice cream offers the perfect blend of creamy chocolate ice cream with chocolate-covered espresso beans and notes of vodka.”

    The Costco two-pint pack will retail for $14.99, while supplies last.

    PROOF Hard Ice Cream is the first company to combine smooth creamy ice cream with the satisfying warmth of five percent alcohol by volume (5% ABV), producing its ice cream in small batches to ensure an indulgent experience you can taste and feel, the company said.

    PROOF Hard Ice Cream is currently available in six flavors: Chocolate Cherry Manhattan, Chocolate Espresso Martini, New York Cheesecake Martini, Sweet Caramel Old Fashioned, Strawberry Daiquiri Spritz, and Tropical Piña Colada. PROOF currently distributes its ice cream in tamper-resistant containers to adults 21 and older in South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, and California, with additional states coming soon, as well as the opportunity to purchase online beginning this summer.
