APPLE FESTIVAL WEEK calls for something extra delicious… and we think we nailed this one!

Introducing our Caramel Apple Lotus!

You know that first bite into a crisp, tart Granny Smith apple covered in sweet, gooey caramel? Somehow, we managed to put THAT into a drink.

It’s tart. It’s sweet. It’s refreshing. It tastes remarkably like a Granny Smith caramel apple, and we may have found our new favorite way to celebrate apple season!

Come give our Caramel Apple Lotus a try this week at Small Town Scoop & Eatery! And while you’re here, keep an eye out for all of our other Apple Festival specials. We’ve got plenty more deliciousness to share!
