It can be found in any liquor store and tastes like butter scotch life savers. When I'm sipping butter ripple while ice fishing, I catch fish because one hand is tied up. We fish because we love eating fresh Walleye. Out of the water and into the pan is an experience out of this world. If you want to cheat, Costco does sell Walleye unfrozen. Our lake looks like a little city in the winter with all the ice huts. The lake is way busier in the winter than in the summer. People have stoves in their huts and bring their creations around for everyone to taste. There is also the libation competitiions to see who can create the tastiest concoction. It's one big social event that can only occur when the water is frozen. We don't have an ice hut yet. It's -27C here today and with the windchill is a balmy -42C. I think an ice hut is going to be on the must have list pretty quick because sitting on the seat of the snowmobile just isn't going to cut it. Butter Ripple is very nice to sip on while you ice fish.
