Del's Lemonade, Rhode Island's iconic frozen lemonade brand, launched its new flavor just for fall – and it's not pumpkin spice.

The Cranston-based business has been celebrating its 75th anniversary this year with 75-cent mini drinks on Mondays. That promotion runs through Sept. 25.

And if you can't get enough of drinking Del's and want to expand the brand's influence in your life, you can order Del's merchandise through its new website, including shirts, keychains, mugs and body lotion.

It's been 75 years for Del's Lemonade, the frozen treat that came from Naples to Rhode Island.

Apple cider is the new Del's fall flavor

Del's Lemonade broke from the pumpkin-spiced pack for fall flavors this year, going with apple cider. According to their Facebook page, the flavor has "undertones of honeycrisp apple" and is available at "select" Del's locations. A list of locations with the apple cider flavor was not posted.

Del's did try a pumpkin spice flavor way back in 2020, which contained pumpkin, sweet potato, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.

Are people excited for Del's apple cider flavor?

Reaction on social media was generally positive, ranging from morbid curiosity to overflowing enthusiasm. Several commenters even took their shot to try and bring back other past Del's flavors, particularly grapefruit.
