Rita’s Debuts Cold Brew Frozen Coffee Drinks

I love when some of my favorite things come together to form a delicious new product! Rita’s Italian Ice & Frozen Custard is debuting a line of new Cold Brew Frozen Coffees.

Available now, but only for a limited time, these frozen cold brews come in three flavors, Original Cold Brew, Mocha, and Caramel.

Each Cold Brew Frozen Coffee is crafted with Rita’s vanilla ice and custard, to create an indulgent, unique flavorful coffee experience. Okay, sign me up! Grabbing Rita's cold brew drinks right after dinner tonight.

“Being in the business of frozen treats, launching an indulgent and better frozen coffee that differentiates from every other frozen coffee product out there was second nature for us,” said Brianne Barket, Director of Product Development and Quality Assurance of Rita’s Italian Ice & Frozen Custard in a press release.

Not only do these new Rita's cold brew drinks sound amazing, if you have the Rita's app you will get a free small frozen coffee reward in your account that you can use during the promo period.

Rita’s signature Italian Ice is made fresh daily on-site and available in a rotating daily selection from over 75 flavors. To find a Rita's location near you click here.

Originally founded in May 1984, Philadelphia firefighter Bob Tumolo created his prized family recipe to include real fruit, named the product after his wife Rita, and Rita’s Italian Ice was born. Since then, Rita’s has staked its claim in the frozen treats industry by planting franchises across the country that offer a happy atmosphere, as well as set the standard for fresh and quality-driven Italian Ice.

If this current heat wave has taught me anything it's that a bit of ice cream makes it a little more bearable. Cups, cones, sundaes, milkshakes, you name it it is all delicious. If you were ever wondering where some of the best ice cream shops in the United States were located, the food site Thrillist.com released a list of the 40 best ice cream shops in the U.S. and one in our backyard made the list!

Thrillist says "The Franklin Ice Cream Bar is the latest vintage ice cream shop to open in the Franklin Fountain family. Specializing in hand-dipped chocolate roasted at nearby Shane Confectionery and sprinkled with a ton of while toppings, the shop also features ice cream, frozen custard, vegan options, and take-home pints. This bespoke parlor does serious things with ice cream, churning its own concoctions that include a stunner of a Honeycomb ice cream, a Cookies and Cream that ditches Oreos for Hydrox (the original sandwich cookie), and a nod to local favorite teaberry gum. They’re all but screaming to be tossed in a sundae or split and covered in homemade hot fudge or piled on the iconic Mt. Vesuvius sundae, which rises high from a base of brownies".
