Jeremiah's Italian Ice Debuts Island Fire Italian Ice
References: rutlandherald
Jeremiah's Italian Ice has introduced a limited-time offering called 'Island Fire Italian Ice.' This interesting flavor innovation combines the tropical fruit notes of passion fruit, guava, and orange with a pronounced spicy element derived from Hawaiian Hot T's POG2 hot sauce, which features habanero, scorpion, and ghost peppers.
The Hawaiian Hot T's POG2 hot sauce has gained recognition through its appearance on the popular interview series Hot Ones. By incorporating this spicy agent into its product, Jeremiah's Italian Ice deliberately departs from conventional frozen treat offerings. The Island Fire Italian Ice begins with sweet, familiar fruit flavors before delivering a lingering heat that builds progressively.
Jeremiah's Italian Ice is making its unique Island Fire Italian Ice recipe available for only one week.
