The rodeo-inspired flavor is a collaboration among John and Veronica Avila and Jasmine Chida, of SweetCup Gelato.

The flavor features tamarind barbecue sauce and smoked pecans.
SweetCup describes the taste experience in flavor layers: “this new flavor captures the smoky essence of the pecans combined with a Texas classic butterscotch leaving a lingering smoky barbecue flavor at the tip of your tongue.”
Chida is no stranger to Texas-inspired flavors. Houston gelato fans may know SweetCup for its Texan kulfi flavor, a mix of Texas pecans and flavors similar to a popular Indian dessert.
The barbecue flavor is available at both SweetCup locations. The shop’s news release notes the flavor will be available in true barbecue fashion: until it runs out.
