As the weather heats up around Walt Disney World, guests are often searching for the perfect cool snack to take a break and cool down. While you might be enjoying some DOLE Whip in the parks, don’t miss the opportunity to drop into the local Salt & Straw store when visiting Disney Springs, where there are four new flavors now available. The new series is called May Flowers, and here are the fresh, complex new flavors you can choose to enjoy, plus one bonus flavor that can be found in the Pints of the Month series:
Jasmine Milk Tea Almond Stracciatella
True jasmine tea is a treasure, carefully concocted by tea farmers by aging young tea leaves in piles of jasmine blossoms that only bloom once per night to blend in their essential oils. We infuse fine jasmine tea in cream and sugar and lace the ice cream with slivers of almonds coated in chocolate. Stracciatella is Italian for ‘little shreds’ of chocolate which complement the jasmine beautifully. Made with Red Blossom Tea Company

Pistachio w/ Saffron & Rose Water
Inspired by some of our favorite Persian desserts, the intense flavors in this ice cream blend together in a transcendently decadent concoction. A classic pistachio ice cream lends a creamy foundation to show off house-baked saffron-laced mochi cake lovingly glazed in a perfectly balanced rosewater frosting. Made with Diaspora Co. Spices

Rhubarb Crumble w/ Toasted Anise
The perfect rhubarb crumble à la mode to spark your spring baked goods love affair. First of the season rhubarb is baked with a splash of orange juice and a family-secret blend of spices. When topped with caramelized anise crumble and folded into vanilla ice cream, we get an ice cream that has a heady hit of acid, caramelized sweetness, and a hint of licorice.

Lemon Mari Gold Amaro Sherbet
The perfect summer spritz, blooming with citrus notes and laced with amaro. Amaro is an herb-infused liquor reminiscent of a small-batch, boozy root beer; a good amaro is unusual, beautiful and unexpected all at once. Straightaway Cocktail’s Mari Gold amaro is bright and feels like spring in a glass. We combine this with pieces of homemade, light, fluffy lemon marshmallows for a sherbet that whisks you off your feet Made with Straightaway Cocktails.

Maraschino Cherry w/ Rainbow Marshmallow Fluff
We go intergalactic with pink and blue marshmallow ‘milky way’ fluff glistening against purple-y pitch dark cherry ice cream.
