Graeter’s Ice Cream, America’s oldest family owned and operated craft ice cream maker, is releasing its lineup of limited-edition summer products crafted to capture the whimsy of the season. This year’s collection of bonus flavors features five new creations: Marrakesh Coffee, Ghost Notes (a collaboration with northeast Cincinnati amusement park Kings Island), Peanut Butter & Clouds, Cherry Sparkler (celebrating the USA’s 250th birthday), and Strawberry Sorbet.
Produced in small batches – just 2.5 gallons at a time – using Graeter’s signature French Pot process, the flavors are being released throughout the summer at the company’s scoop shops as well as online.
Descriptions of the products follow:
• Marrakesh Coffee (now available) — Bold coffee ice cream spiced with cardamom, cinnamon and ginger, this flavor was inspired by the rich, spiced coffee traditions of the Middle East and Morocco.
• Ghost Notes (now available) — Celebrating Kings Island’s new ride, Phantom Theater: Opening Nightmare, this flavor features marshmallow and grape ice cream combined with marshmallow cookie dough.
• Peanut Butter & Clouds (available in early June) — Rich peanut butter ice cream with fluffy marshmallow pieces folded throughout.
• Cherry Sparkler (available late June) — Crafted to celebrate the USA’s 250th birthday, this wild cherry ice cream contains red and blue popping candy folded into every scoop.
• Strawberry Sorbet (available in late July) — Made with strawberries picked at peak ripeness from Pacific Northwest farms, this smooth, creamy sorbet is made from slow-frozen strawberry purée for a bright, sweet and tart flavor that is completely dairy-free.
“Ice cream has always been a quintessential part of summer, bringing people together through joyful moments,” said Richard Graeter, fourth-generation president and chief executive officer of the Cincinnati, Ohio-headquartered company. “Our five limited-edition flavors are meant to capture those moments big and small and make summer sweeter and last just a little bit longer.”
