Angelito and DaVinci put the gourmet into milkshakes this summer
As the hotter weather hits, many fish and chip shops are looking for ways to broaden their offering, attract new customer groups and maintain sales during periods when traditional hot food purchases can drop. Premium milkshakes, coolers and smoothies present a valuable opportunity, combining strong consumer demand with impressive profit potential, and with Angelito Soft Serve and DaVinci Gourmet Sauces, creating a menu of eye-catching, indulgent drinks has never been easier.
The popularity of gourmet milkshakes continues to grow, particularly among younger consumers who are drawn to products that deliver both flavour and experience. Inspired by the drinks found in leading high street chains – think Dubai Chocolate or Mango Cooler – they offer an effective way to for fish and chips shops to attract customers who may not ordinarily visit them, while also encouraging additional spend from existing customers looking for a refreshing treat or indulgent dessert.
Expertise
Made with Kerrymaid’s trusted dairy expertise, Angelito Ice Cream Mix provides the perfect base for premium milkshakes, smoothies and coolers. Combining high quality ingredients with exceptional taste and texture, it creates the rich, creamy consistency customers expect from a gourmet shake. Its ready-to-use liquid format is suitable for all types of soft serve machines, helping busy operators produce consistently excellent results with minimal fuss.
Adding flavour and visual appeal are DaVinci Gourmet Sauces, available in four popular flavours – Chocolate, White Chocolate, Strawberry and Caramel – in 2.5kg bottles with easy-to-use pump dispensers. Whether blended into drinks or drizzled around the cup, they help create premium drinks that look every bit as good as they taste. The wider DaVinci range also includes five smoothie purées, perfect for summer coolers. Available in Exotic Fruit, Mango, Peach, Strawberry and Summer Fruits, they are made with real fruit and supplied in convenient one litre ambient cartons.
Preparation is straightforward. Simply dispense Angelito Ice Cream Mix into a blender, add the chosen DaVinci sauces or smoothie purées, blend until smooth, then finish with whipped cream, extra sauce and toppings. In just moments, operators can create drinks that rival those found on the high street, without adding complexity to their operation.
Customisation
One of the biggest advantages is the scope for customisation. Customers can mix and match sauces to create a wide variety of chocolate and fruit flavour combinations, while extra drizzles, real fruit pieces, nuts, sprinkles and other toppings add further appeal and individuality. Whether following tried and tested recipes or developing signature creations, fish and chip shops can bring a touch of premium indulgence to their menu while tapping into one of the season’s most popular drink trends.
