## Story

Restaurants around the world are introducing a few new spring trends this season, including ethnic flavors, fresh fruits and veggies, innovative sauces and unicorn-inspired brews.

Adorned with a dusting of pink powder blended into a crème Frappuccino with mango syrup and layered with a sour blue drizzle, Starbucks’ new drink, The Unicorn, is just one of this season’s standout LTOs.

McAlister’s Deli , for example, is celebrating springtime with black cherries, which make an appearance in a handful of menu items. This includes the Black Cherry Spinach Salad, the Garden Fresh Black Cherry & Ham Sandwich and a Pure Can Sugar Lemonade topped off with a black cherry puree.
