Pucker Upper is a raspberry sorbet with an extra tart lemonade swirl which features sour sugar bits, a completely new ingredient, custom-designed for this Ben & Jerry's flavor. The raspberry sorbet base and extra tart lemonade swirl are certain to be a perfect pleaser for the end of any backyard barbeque. With a dairy coating around the bits, which prevents them from dissolving in sorbet, the flavor flirts with a bit of a sherbet approach while allowing the pockets of pucker to be preserved.
"After 13 years with the company, I don't think I've ever seen a flavor quite like this," said Laura Essaid, Ben & Jerry's Associate Brand Manager who helped with the new flavor creation process. "It's a perfect flavor for summer with a balance of sweet and sour, while light, fruity, and refreshing… plus, there's no grill required."
The pucker-worthy flavor featured both in pints and at the company's franchised Scoop Shop nationwide fills a niche in the sorbet category with only half a gram of fat and 110 calories per serving. The pint retails with a MSRP of $4.89.
So, if you're a sucker for sour, this Limited Batch flavor is packed with sour-powered pucker-uppertunities galore, from the uber tart and tangy twist of raspberry and lemonade sorbets to the sweet and sassy blast of sour sugar bits.
