The brainchild of Tamara Keefe, who grew up in a family who couldn't afford weekly trips to the ice cream parlor like her friends, Clementine's has six locations in the greater St. Louis area. Tamara's love of ice cream developed when her mother bought the family a $2 hand-crank ice cream maker. Today she's known for her innovative flavors, including alcohol-infused and vegan versions. Menu highlights include Carrie's Cosmo – tart cranberry, triple sec, lime juice, and vodka – and pink Champagne.
