The Secret Behind the Sweetest Buzz: Pecan Jacks' Limoncello Ice Cream

Cory Mosley • December 9, 2025

At Pecan Jacks, we're famous for the variety of flavors that keep lines out the door, and nowhere is that more true than with our unique 21 & Over Ice Cream Series. It's our little secret for the grown-ups who are looking for a special, sophisticated treat.


In this series, VP of Growth Cory Mosley and Co-Founder Tim Wyatt delve into the details of one of our original and most beloved adult flavours: Limoncello Ice Cream.


A Bright, Smooth Summer Staple


Our Limoncello ice cream is the perfect answer for those craving a bright, creamy, and refreshing dessert.


"Limoncello is very bright. It is perfect for summertime when you want a little after-dinner something special," explains Tim Wyatt.


We craft this flavor using Parnelli Limoncello, resulting in a dessert that is:


  • Real Mild: It's not overly strong, but delivers a pleasant, subtle lift.
  • Bright Lemon Hit: The citrus flavor hits the palate just right.
  • Super Smooth Texture: Like all Pecan Jacks ice creams, it is incredibly smooth, never "crystally," and avoids the scratchy texture often associated with lower-quality ice cream.


This flavor has been a staple in the Pecan Jacks lineup since our very first week, proving its appeal to customers right from the start.


The (Boozy) Batch That Started It All


The Limoncello flavor has a great story about a memorable customer and a slightly-too-spirited first batch.


Tim recalls the early days of crafting the recipe: "Grandpa came in... he sees Limoncello on the board... I give him a sample, and he goes, 'Oh, man.'"


The problem? It was the very first batch, and we were still perfecting the measurements. Tim admitted to cracking open three bottles of Limoncello in that first batch to get the flavor profile right.


"It was way too strong... The next week, I had to make more. But grandpa got two scoops... and the kids are just buzzing [from the sugar], and he's sitting there, and he's just as happy as he can be. I said, 'You doing okay?' He said, 'You know what? I think I got a little buzz off of that ice cream!


We promptly worked on that recipe until it was perfected to be just right—a bright, delicious flavor that delivers an indulgence, not a buzz!

The Crucial Differentiator: House-Made Ice Cream


The quality and unforgettable flavor profile of our Limoncello—and every Pecan Jacks ice cream—comes down to one key factor: it is made in-house by your local franchisee.


"If you visit a Pecan Jacks anywhere in the country, any of our locations, you're having ice cream that was not shipped in, manufactured in a plant somewhere by the ton," emphasized Cory Mosley.


  • Artisan Production: Your local franchise owners and their teams are making the ice cream in-house, fresh, every day.
  • Quality Control: This process ensures the highest standards for transport, flavor profile, and texture.
  • Perfect Serving: We follow proprietary processes for freezing, tempering, and chilling the ice cream right up until it's served to you, ensuring everything is perfect.

Don't be fooled by other ice cream shops claiming to be fresh! At Pecan Jacks, in-house-made means true artisan quality you can taste.

There is a unique kind of magic that happens when a customer falls so in love with a brand that they decide to own a piece of it. Today, we are thrilled to introduce our newest franchisees, Morgan and Sam DeWeese , who are taking their passion for Pecan Jacks to the next level by opening multiple locations! Cory Mosley, VP of Growth & Franchise Development at Pecan Jacks, chats with Morgan and Sam DeWeese. A Love Affair with the Product For Sam, the obsession started eight years ago at our very first location. "I quickly fell in love with the product," Sam shared. "When I learned that all the ice cream was made in-house, that was an absolute game-changer." As a self-proclaimed "Double Scoop Oreo in a Brownie Waffle Cone" enthusiast, Sam noted that it wasn’t just the flavors that impressed him—it was the consistency of the marketing, the quality of the employees, and the "seaside" atmosphere that Pecan Jacks is known for. Navigating the Franchise Journey Transitioning from a customer to an investor is a significant leap. For the DeWeese family, the decision was rooted in the support and transparency provided by the Pecan Jacks team. "We are not familiar with the restaurant industry," Morgan admitted. "We knew the product was great, but we wanted to make sure we had all the tools we needed to be successful. Ken [from the development team] walked us through the process step-by-step, as quickly or slowly as we wanted to go." Why Pecan Jacks? When asked what they would say to someone "on the fence" about investing in a Pecan Jacks, the DeWeese had two pieces of advice: Taste the Product: "Come try all the ice cream you can," says Sam. The quality speaks for itself. Trust the Process: Morgan emphasized that the reality matched the promise. "Everything that y'all said was going to happen has actually happened. I know exactly what to expect." Building a Sweet Future With the support of Pecan Jacks University and our dedicated real estate selection process, Morgan and Sam are well on their way to bringing Southern-inspired joy to their community. Their story is a testament to what happens when quality craftsmanship meets a robust, supportive business model. Are You Ready to Write Your Sweet Success Story? Pecan Jacks is one of the fastest-growing brands emerging in the country. We are looking for passionate individuals who want to build a business that brings smiles to their community.
