As we sweat our way through a sweltering July, it can be hard to find a quick way to cool off after a long day. Fortunately, The Golden Scoop is here to help! Over the past month, we’ve introduced several summer sips and treats, including a matcha lemonade (it’s better than it sounds, just make sure you stir to fully blend it before drinking), strawberry lemonade, and ice-cold orange cream soda (in a glass bottle!) to help you chill away that summer heat!
One of the new summer customer favorites is a delightful raspberry lemon sorbet! Created by our own Anastasia Walter, Retail Operations Manager at The Golden Scoop, it blends sweet raspberries with a zesty lemon kick for a nice flavor contrast. A little lemon yin to your sweet raspberry yang.
“I wanted to create an option for people looking for something non-dairy-fruity and summery, but different from everything else we had,” said Anastasia. “Raspberry felt like the perfect fit; it just has that bright, summery quality to it. I added lemon to sharpen that freshness even more.”
I asked her what the ingredients were, and she said, “I kept the recipe simple on purpose, really just raspberries, lemon and a simple syrup, letting the fruit do the talking rather than overcomplicating it. Part of the goal was also just diversifying our menu, giving people another option that felt distinct from what we already offered.”
So, if you’re coming back from a workout at the gym, a long run, or just a long day, stop by our cafe on the way home for a quick pick-me-up in the form of a sweet and zesty treat that will surely help you beat the summer heat!
