Now Trending: Cherries, Hot Sauce and Unicorns
According to Fast Casual, these are the spring’s hottest flavors.
Restaurants around the world are introducing a few new spring trends this season, including ethnic flavors, fresh fruits and veggies, innovative sauces and unicorn-inspired brews.
Adorned with a dusting of pink powder blended into a crème Frappuccino with mango syrup and layered with a sour blue drizzle, Starbucks’ new drink, The Unicorn, is just one of this season’s standout LTOs.
McAlister’s Deli, for example, is celebrating springtime with black cherries, which make an appearance in a handful of menu items. This includes the Black Cherry Spinach Salad, the Garden Fresh Black Cherry & Ham Sandwich and a Pure Can Sugar Lemonade topped off with a black cherry puree.
