Why should you try it: The recent heat wave has been intense, but Alex and Paityn Edwards took some of their most popular items and gave them a chilled, summery twist to help everyone cool down.

Bestsellers, like their strawberry lemonade, inspired their lemonberry slush float in the new line.

“We thought if they love it as a drink, everyone would love it as a slush,” Alex Edwards said.

Their other drinks in the collection include an apple crisp ice cream, raspberry iced tea lemonade and a horchata slush float.

Another reason to give their new line a try is that everything in their drinks is made fresh, in-store.

“The apple crisp is baked everyday. The lemonade for the lemonberry slush float, our lemons are squeezed everyday,” Edwards said.

Pro tip: If you try to eat plant-based, get oat milk instead of dairy in your drink.
