Baskin-Robbins Welcomes Spring With First of Its Kind Floral Flavor

April is here and while the saying goes that April showers bring May flowers, Baskin-Robbins is getting a head start on giving 2024 its floral offerings. Baskin-Robbins has launched its new flavor of the month for April and it's a never before seen offering from the brand: Marigold Dreamsicle — and yes, it contains real flowers.

According to Baskin-Robbins, the new Marigold Dreamsicle flavor features real marigold blossoms mixed with vanilla bean ice cream that's finished with a creamy orange swirl. The result is a light and refreshing treat. The new flavor embraces a growing food trend for botanical-inspired treats.

Ice cream fans wanting to try this new flavor can head to Baskin-Robbins during the month of April. Additionally, new updates to the BR App are letting customers get their favorites as well as order the new Marigold Dreamsicle in scoop, beverage, or sundae form or pick up in as little as 15 minutes. Fans can check out more information about that here.
