Handel's Pink Lemonade Ice Cream has been developed by the brand with a classic summertime flavor profile as its inspiration, but gives it a decidedly creamy and frozen update. The menu item takes pink lemonade as its inspiration and gives it a decidedly creamy overhaul, while also incorporating sour lemon candy pieces and a strawberry ripple into the recipe. The ice cream is being offered at the brand's participating locations in individual servings, in several take-home options and as part of its event catering systems to maximize access for curious foodies.
Chief Marketing Officer Hillary Frei commented on Handel's Pink Lemonade Ice Cream saying, "Our Pink Lemonade ice cream puts a refreshing twist on a classic summertime beverage. This new flavor captures the carefree fun of summer in every scoop. Whether it’s kids chasing an after-dinner treat to guests looking for a refreshing summer treat, Pink Lemonade was made to bring smiles to guests of all ages."
