Milwaukee, WI (2024) – Milwaukee Film has partnered with Crème de Liqueur, a local  liquor-infused frozen custard company for a one-time giveaway contest during the Milwaukee Film Festival. From April 1st to the 5th, 21+ festival attendees can enter the giveaway contest for a chance to win four film passes as well as servings of liquor-infused frozen custard during the show. While scoops of Crème de Liqueur have been available on the concessions list at the Oriental Theatre for the last 12 months, Crème de Liqueur has joined as an official community partner to Milwaukee Film during the festival.

“Everyone loves having this special dessert at the theatres,” says Robyn Ehrlich, Communications & Public Relations Coordinator at Milwaukee Film. “We’re so excited to partner with Crème de Liqueur for the Fest and support another local company.”

Milwaukee Film and Crème de Liqueur both share a focus on local as many of Crème de Liqueur’s flavors infuse local spirits and mix-ins into their ingredients. Flavors include best-sellers like Chocolate Brownie Bourbon, which is infused with spirits from Central Standard Distillery in Milwaukee.

“The Oriental and Downer Theatres have always held a special place in my heart,” says Elizabeth Nash, Co-Founder of Crème de Liqueur, and local Milwaukee resident. “To have our liquor-infused frozen custard sold at these iconic places makes me feel like we’re truly intertwined in this great community. I mean, who doesn’t want a drink and dessert when they go to the movies? Why not have both in the same cup?!”

The giveaway contest begins Monday, April 1st, at 12:00 p.m. and runs until April 5th, 2024, at 12:00 p.m.

Additional Details
