New flavors for February have arrived atĀ in Downtown Disney! š„³
My review of the new vegan flavor, Cocoa Nib Root Beer Float (v)
This one was so fun and satisfying! Much creamier and more luscious than an average sorbet, in my opinion. I'll definitely be getting it again this month!!Ā
I ordered it in a cone here (a sugar cone, aka kid's cone). This one is vegan, while the waffle cone (the larger one) contains egg. You can also order your scoop in a cup, which is what I usually do, but I felt like a cone today!Ā
I give the Cocoa Nib Root Beer Float flavor an 8/10. It is very very good, but it's hard to live up to the Chocolate Pistachio from last month that is so fresh in my memory! That one was a 10/10. I hope that one makes a return at some point!
The Salt & Straw menu description ofĀ Cocoa Nib Root Beer Float (v):
"For over 10 years, San Franciscoās Dandelion Chocolate has made it their mission to showcase single-origin cacao, experimenting with every step from bean-to-bar. It was this spirit of experimentation that first inspired their recipe for cocoa nib root beerāa twist that perfectly blends cacaoās earthy bitterness and root beerās bright, spicy sweetness. Sassafras, mint, and clove meet bittersweet Ugandan cacao nibs in a botanical, cocoa-kissed tonic that we spin into a velvety sorbet. And because more chocolate is always better, we fold in a ribbon of their Ecuadorian single-origin 70% dark chocolate fudge for an extra-rich finish."
Have you tried this one yet? What did you think?
