Alexandria, VA – A milkshake can still surprise you. One is bright with mango. Another begins with Wisconsin-style frozen custard. Beeliner adds Irish cream and turns dessert into a cocktail. These five Alexandria milkshakes each give you a different reason to pick up a straw.
Pop’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream
109 King Street, Alexandria, VA 22314
Pop’s is an Old Town classic, tucked close to the waterfront to make a milkshake part of a King Street walk. The Mango Milkshake is creamy and bright, with enough tartness to keep it from feeling heavy. It is particularly good on a hot afternoon.
I’m Still Thinking About… the White House connection. Ray “Pop” Giovanni catered events there during his long career and served ice cream to Eleanor Roosevelt.
