Forget what D.C.’s upstart food producers are selling. These days, it’s all about the conveyance used to deliver the goods. And starting today, you can now have premium, small-batch ice cream delivered right to your doorstep by bicycle.

Actually, don’t disregard the product; it’s pretty good. Ice Cream Jubilee is now selling “subscriptions” that will deliver four half-pint cartons of its inventive flavors to its customers. For $25 a month—or $50 for two months—the company will dispatch a courier from the recently founded bike messenger service Urban Delivery with a cooler full of dry ice and ice cream.

Flavors scheduled for July include chocolate five spice, blueberry pie, gin and tonic sorbet, and Thai iced tea. Ice Cream Jubilee uses cream purchased from a Maryland farm to make its goods.

And don’t worry. The dry-ice delivery system should keep the ice cream frozen while it is strapped to a bike en route to your house on a blistering D.C. summer day, says Ice Cream Jubilee’s founder Victoria Lai.

“Even if you have a flexible fabric cooler, with dry ice the temperature is going to be plenty cold enough,” Lai says. “Modern marvels of science.”

Lai, who by day is a lawyer for the Department of Homeland Security, started Ice Cream Jubilee two years ago by hosting tasting parties for her friends. She later started serving her ice cream through the dinner party-hosting service Feastly, and later expanded into holding her own tasting events.

Ice Cream Jubilee recently moved into Union Kitchen, the food start-up “incubator” behind Union Station, and is stocked at Glen’s Garden Market, a recently opened grocery store specializing in locally produced foods, and by the Captain Cookie and the Milkman food truck.
