CINCINNATI — Kroger is bringing vacation vibes to freezer aisles with the launch of its limited-edition Summer in a Pint ice cream and sherbet collection, which includes four new flavors inspired by classic summer getaways. To celebrate, the grocer will give away 92,000 free pints on June 20 — one for each day of summer.
The seasonal lineup includes:
- Italian Style Summer Fizz: Transporting taste buds to a carefree moment in the Euro summer sun, this blood orange-flavored sherbet is loaded with popping candy clusters and a blood orange-flavored ribbon.
- Fireside Nights: An elevated take on classic s'mores, this toasted marshmallow- flavored ice cream features s'mores pieces and a glittering swirl that radiates the orange hue of a campfire flame so campers and glampers can enjoy a bounty that does not require roughing it.
- Sandy Shores: Like tropical waters cascading across shorelines, this coconut-flavored ice cream is reminiscent of crystal-blue seas and swirled with a sweet and salty pretzel crunch for a treat even better than a beach day.
- Poolside Tan Lines: Mimicking the tan lines achieved after kicking back poolside, this flavor swirls together vanilla bean, chocolate and coffee ice creams – no SPF necessary.
“We're thrilled to launch the Summer in a Pint collection offering customers a taste of summer paradise – no passport or boarding pass needed,” said Mike Murphy, Group Vice President of Center Store Merchandising at Kroger. “Last year, we were blown away by customer excitement for our free pint offer and this summer we are making it even sweeter. Kroger is giving away 92,000 free pints of ice cream so more customers can celebrate the start of summer with a taste of our new flavors.”
