Ice Cream Detroit is holding a soft opening next Sunday after around three years of working to get its new location in Midtown up and running.

The big picture: The small-batch ice cream maker offers both booze-infused and classic ice cream and sorbet.

Between the lines: One of the pop-up brand's most popular offerings is Faygo Red Pop sorbet with coconut rum, per Metro Times. Another unique flavor? Butterfly pea flower margarita sorbet.

The boozy flavors are 0.5% alcohol per scoop.

If you go: For National Ice Cream Day on July 20, Ice Cream Detroit is offering a taste of its product, plus tours of the new location at 3762 2nd Ave. from noon to 4pm.

The first 50 customers get a free scoop.
