## Story

To stand out and offer customers a unique experience, many brands are mixing up their traditional dishes by adding fruity and tropical ingredients. Rather than adding the ingredient to an existing dish, they’re often creating entirely new items, ranging from desserts and beverages to entrees. Technomic Inc.

, a research and consulting firm, says that the fruity-flavor trend has been around for a while and doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. One of the trendsetters is Back Yard Burgers, which is featuring a Coconut Cream Milkshake this month. It’s full of hand-dipped ice cream and milk, coconut syrup and vanilla custard cream sauce.
