Andy’s Frozen Custard Soda Shoppe Includes the Cherry Limeade

The Andy’s Frozen Custard Soda Shoppe menu has been announced by the brand as a nostalgic offering for diners to try out this summer that harken back to the golden era of diner culture. The menu starts off with the Cherry Limeade drink that boasts a base of Sprite soda alongside cherries, key lime syrup and the brand's signature vanilla frozen custard. The menu will allow diners to enjoy creamy floats, old-fashioned sodas and chilly freezes alike, which are great for sipping on with friends or family.

CEO and Owner Andy Kuntz commented on the Andy’s Frozen Custard Soda Shoppe menu saying, "We’ve always had fan-favorite drinks like freezes and floats, but with Andy’s Soda Shoppe, we’re giving them a permanent place in the spotlight. It’s the perfect, on-the-go way to sip into summer with something fresh, fun, and unmistakably Andy’s.”
