From The Club
As someone who enjoys a good fruity sorbet, I’m excited about Häagen-Dazs’ new sorbets, particularly the Sweet Lemon Coconut. I know it’s not usually a flavor that consumers will pick up, but the refreshing coconut plus the burst of lemon screams the perfect combination. As for the sips, I’m looking forward to PJ’s Coffee’s Frosted Strawberry Lemonade to pair with a good fried dish. Happy spring, everyone!
