Excellent, I can get one stop in before I move out of state.

As keeper of the ice I will mention kiwi is involved @ the moment.

Mango was a 10 tonite. Green Apple was very strong as well. Love seeing some new/old flavors.

Hey, I think this is where I used to go when I worked on Canal street. A few doors east of the best mole I ever had....at a Pepe's (different from the mole at every other Pepe's I've tried).

Do they still have black raspberry flavor? That was my one and only go-to, and I might even consider a trip there (when in the neighborhood) if they do.

Mario's is on Taylor across from the original and therefore only Al's Beef (let no one tell you different). They do have blue raspberry, not black though and as a pro tip, you could do better flavor wise, as nearly all use fresh fruit except a couple, in which blue raspberry is included. For a primer, here's something I wrote yrs back.

Can't elope, I'm already married.

I'm pretty sure when I went in the 1980s they had black raspberry. Maybe I'm getting confused with the prepackaged cups sold at Jerry's in the...1990s? early 2000s? But it was my achilles heel wherever it was.

My first visit to Mario's this year was tonight. I ordered the peach after grilling the girl if the peaches were really ripe. In the past I got some hard peach pieces and wished to avoid repeating the experience.

This peach was best I have had at Mario's. The flavor was deliciously peachy. I wished I ordered a large instead of a medium.

The grapefruit is superb as well. Have a few jumbos in the freezer for xmas cocktail mixer (a decades long habit.) Really have to give Mario the Younger his props for being so ambitous this yr. Green apple, lychee, an amazing mango...

I saw the lychee and mango, but went with the peach because it might be the only. I so impressed by the enhanced flavor.

I never bought any to store, though your idea is inspiring. It would be a nice bit of summer in December to serve.

Thanks for the idea.

And out of Peach....though the Pomegranate sufficed yesterday when I found myself down the street for work. Unfortunately after I had already eaten lunch, so no 1-2 punch.
