The Quick Pint Pick-Me-Up
🍯 Pint Pick
Humphry Slocombe’s Salted Caramel Cocoa Nib
From one of San Francisco’s most inventive creameries, this pint delivers a masterclass in contrast. Buttery caramel sweetness cut by a pleasant bite of dark cocoa nibs. It’s sophisticated yet familiar, the kind of flavor that feels as at home in a fine restaurant as it does on your couch. Fancy at home is a personal fav.
The balance of salty, sweet, and bitter makes this pint endlessly spoonable, and a perfect segue into cool weather indulgence.
🥄 Scoop Hack
Warm Caramel Drizzle (Without the Burn)
For perfectly smooth caramel every time: microwave 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce in a small glass bowl for 10–12 seconds, then stir in a pinch of sea salt and a splash (½ tsp) of heavy cream or milk. This gives you a pourable, glossy finish without any stickiness or scorching. Drizzle it over your pint, or better yet, dip your spoon right in.

💡 Fun Fact
Modern Salted Caramel dates back 50 years. It was invented by French chocolatier Henri Le Roux in the 1970s, combining butter and sea salt to create “caramel au beurre salé.” Sweet history, indeed.
Until the next scoop,
