Blood Orange Water Ice - Quickie Review

Blood Orange Water Ice - Quickie Review

So Rita's announced their newest flavor about a week ago, which was blood orange, and it sounded interesting, until I saw that Texas is getting a Dr. Pepper flavored ice. Lucky Texas!

I can't help be feel disappointed by comparison. I like blood orange, because I like all citrus juices and flavors, but I have a feeling that this water ice is more gimmick than anything else. Did Rita's really formulate a whole new flavor syrup for this item? Or did they just add red dye to their preexisting orange flavoring? Let's find out!

Fear Not! We can all be Pretencious and eat Blood Orange Water Ice this Summer!

Stupid lucky Texas. If it tests well there it might go nationwide! Let's hope this one makes it past the trial phase.

More Starburst flavored Rita's!

I've reviewed the Strawberry version in the past, which was pretty yummy, and it sold so well that two other flavors were released. This year you can pick up a cherry or orange Starbust-flavored ice, but I doubt lemon will be making an appearance. From what I understand, Alex's Lemonade Stand has the monopoly on Rita's lemon flavored ice. If Starburst wants to keep releasing water ice flavors, they are most likely going to try some of their Tropical themed one.

Let's see if this Orange Starburst ice is any different from a typical orange one.
