Baskin-Robbins is bringing the summer season vibes throughout a spring month with the introduction of its Paloma Paradise Ice Cream, April 2025’s Taste of the Month. The pink-colored scoop options paloma-flavored ice cream and sorbet with gentle chili pepper lime swirls.
What’s a paloma? You’d be right should you assume it appears like a spot in California. Should you mentioned it’s a group in Illinois, I’m impressed along with your geography genius. However this deal with was impressed by the tequila-based cocktail known as the paloma. It’s a mix of tequila, lime juice, and grapefruit soda (like Fresca) or grapefruit juice. Nevertheless, you needn’t fear about alcohol within the ice cream or sorbet.
I’ll admit that grapefruit hasn’t been the primary citrus fruit I’ll seize when experiencing scurvy as a result of the fruit’s notorious sourness turns me off. Nevertheless, I get pleasure from sipping on a Fresca at any time when it’s in a cooler at a barbecue. Fortunately, the ice cream and sorbet base have all of the grapefruit taste however with out a lot sourness. It’s a candy, citrusy, creamy, and refreshing base. I’m stunned by how a lot I loved it. The sorbet has an icy texture that would give the impression that there are icy chunks within the ice cream itself. Nevertheless, I didn’t expertise that an excessive amount of so there most likely wasn’t a lot sorbet in my scoop.
Probably the most intriguing ingredient is gentle chili pepper lime swirls. However whereas I might see chili pepper specks within the swirl, they disappointingly offered a refined chili pepper kick that’s as silent because the letter B within the phrase “refined.” So, should you’re anxious about this having a little bit of spiciness, you don’t have anything to worry. As an alternative, the swirls present a punchy lime taste that enhances the grapefruit style with out including any sourness.
Whereas you needn’t fear about puckering, there’s slightly taste twist that may be bizarre to some. Regardless of not containing any alcohol, I tasted a touch of an alcohol vibe with a number of spoonfuls. It’s not off-putting and provides slightly authenticity to the inside track, however I can perceive the way it may be a turnoff to some.
Baskin-Robbins’ Paloma Paradise is a beautiful summery taste to get pleasure from throughout the spring.
