BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — Perhaps the most unique ice-cream shop in Tampa Bay, the new Lorelei Infusions blends cold treats, magical mermaids, grown-up spirits, a wake-you-up coffee bar, and some very cool history.

The shop is co-owned by Wendy McGinnis, a former Weeki Wachee mermaid, and Paula Thompson, who, with her husband, Steve Thompson, is a legendary figure in ice-cream history.
Steve's grandfather, Emery Thompson, invented the first great ice-cream-making machine more than 120 years ago.
Lorelei Infusions is playful from the second you walk in: magical mermaid decor, a menu that includes expertly made ice cream for all ages — plus 21-and-over booze-infused cold concoctions like Peanut Butter Jelly Whiskey.
There's also a very cool coffee bar where the java comes very hot and very strong.
Located at 813 S Broad St in Brooksville, Lorelei Infusions is open Tuesday through Sunday.
