<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Orange you glad Chick-fil-A parlayed their popular Frosted Coffee and Frosted Lemonade formula into orange sherbet form?<\/p>\n
Sorry, couldn\u2019t resist.<\/p>\n
Actually, while the concept of the new Frosted Sunrise (a combination of Chick-fil-A\u2019s soft-serve Icedream and Simply Orange orange juice) follows the same premise of the chain’s existing drink\/soft-serve mashups, the marketing plan appears totally different. <\/p>\n
Take, for example, the listing of the Frosted Sunrise under the \u201cdrink\u201d section of Chick-fil-A\u2019s menu and not the \u201cTreat\u201d section. Even the name, Frosted Sunrise, conjures up images of a 100 percent of your daily vitamin C and lasting energy to embrace your eight hours of sedentary office work. <\/p>\n
In a word: wholesome.<\/p>\n
And, as it happens, the Frosted Sunrise does taste more wholesome, which is exactly the last thing I want in my orange-flavored frozen dairy drinks.<\/p>\n
Perennial child of the 90s I am, I just can\u2019t get Orange Flintstones Push-Up treats out of my head. Together with orange sherbet, this tag-team of artificial citrus formed approximately 71 percent of my dessert intake from the ages of 7-10.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not to say I don\u2019t love me a good Florida orange (or a clementine for that matter). But when it comes to combining oranges with cream, there\u2019s a certain level of socially-engrained flavor balance that\u2019s to be expected. Unfortunately, Chick-fil-A\u2019s Frosted Sunrise skews too far toward the fresh-squeezed orange, creating a clashing matchup of full-bodied and slightly bitter orange with a weak soft-serve flavor.<\/p>\n
Overwhelmed by this cognitive dissonance, I trudged on. As I slurped more and more sunrise (note: save that phrase for a future poem) I noticed the flavors being a bit evener. The initial strong natural orange flavor, which in this application was not exactly optimal, quickly dissipated to the point where the milky sweetness of the Icedream became the guiding flavor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Childhood sherbet equilibrium obtained, I was content (I also had a brain freeze, although I take full responsibility for that). Still, the fact that the flavor shifted so dramatically struck me as problematic, especially when Chick-fil-A\u2019s Icedream lacks the rich milkfat to tame the initial heavy citrus bursts.<\/p>\n
Overall, Chick-fil-A\u2019s Frosted Sunrise does a lot of good things and has elements that will please both natural orange enthusiasts and artificial orange nostalgics like me. However, in doing so, it fails to leave both completely satisfied throughout, making it less enjoyable than Chick-fil-A\u2019s Frosted Coffee and Frosted Lemonade.<\/p>\n

Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.89
\nSize:<\/b> Small
\nRating:<\/b> 6 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Strong orange sherbet finish. Healthier breakfast alternative to a milkshake (which technically you can get at breakfast but\u2026) Clean, strong refreshing flavor.
\nCons:<\/b> Natural orange flavor clashes and overwhelms the dairy for half of the drink. Slight bitterness can be off-putting. Not enough richness in the dairy. Inconsistent flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
