Rita’s describes the new Unicorn Ice flavor as a sparkly strawberry candy flavored treat of happiness!

However, we tried the Unicorn Ice and think it tastes more like a slightly-watered down purple Skittle. If you give it a try, be sure to leave a comment below and let us know how you would describe the flavor.

    We loved the flavor. A spin off of cotton candy and something…We didnt think it tasted like skittles.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      SO glad you enjoyed it, Michelle! I haven’t tried it yet!

    My 7 y/o was not a fan . I tried it too and a watered down grape was a good description .

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Darn! Thanks for the honest comment!

  3. CJJ

    I thought it tasted sweet with a little perfume added! (Not a fan!). We got 4 quarts of water ice from there for a birthday party and the kids ate it (just the name alone made it too cool to resist for them!)

    Keep in mind, Rita’s has tiny cups they can put a free sample in so you can sample it before you buy.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks for the tip!

    Am I the only one that thinks custard mixed with italian ice is nasty? I LOVE their custard! Italian ice is fine. But mixed together or one on top of the other is YUCK!

    • Daniela

      I once thought i would hate too but then I tried Tropicana orange with vanilla custard and omg. YUM. I also got the grape with vanilla. It really depends on the italian ice flavor. I wouldn’t push for the sour ones.

    • Tina

      Nope, that’s the stuff of my dreams. Only wish I had one closer so I could get a cherry gelati every day. Have considered franchising a Rita’s in my area solely so I could get it for myself. Decided that wasn’t the best business decision.

  5. Sabrina

    I think the 2 of them mixed together is gross too! Lol. I think the unicorn Italian ice tasted like cotton candy pop rocks. Which are my favorite candy so I wasn’t mad! But I’m eating it now, reading about a watered down purple skittle & I kind of taste it haha!

    Tried the Unicorn Gelati yesterday and it was LIFE CHANGING!! LOVED it!! Soooooooo yummy!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Woohoo! Thanks for sharing!

    • Emilee

      I did it with the Cotton Candy ice and custard… so good! (Then again, major sweet tooth…)

  7. Kristy B

    Grape cotton candy is what I thought it tasted like, my daughter agreed

  8. Herman rivera

    It taste exactly like a watered downed grape skittle

  9. Herman rivera

  10. Jamie

    Amazing. Newly obsessed

  11. Allesha moyer

    I’m usually not a huge fan of Rita’s in general. However, I just so happened to stop a few weeks ago and got the unicorn ice in a gelati and it was amazing!! Hands down probably the BEST I’ve ever had from ritas!! I recently went to Rita’s 2 days ago and found out they no longer have the unicorn flavor. 😩😩😭😭🤬🤬😢😢 needless to say I was devastated!!

  12. Miriam K.

    I look forward to my Rita’s runs. Today, I tried a Unicorn. It takes like some sort of fruit, possibly grape. YUM!

    • Jennifer (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks for letting us know, Miriam K.!

  13. Mary

    My three year old daughter LOVES the unicorn flavor! The sparkle in it is just crazy and it also makes your tongue sparkle. I’m not a big water ice person but I had to try the Unicorn. It tasted like a mix of fruity and sweet flavors. It’s on the sweeter side and not tangy or tart so I’m guessing a mix of strawberry, cherry, black cherry, swedish fish, and cotton candy. Yes, that’s it 🙂

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Aww, Glad she has enjoyed it, Mary! Thanks for taking a moment to comment!

  14. Mae

    I have tried it and I did not like it alone but I did like the unicorn Gelati.
    The custard and sprinkles mixed with the ice make it taste like cotton candy and it is really cute!

  15. Yas

    The best way to describe the flavor is cotton candy mixed with strawberry nesquick!!!

  16. Gidget

    I think the new unicorn flavor tastes like “lavender”

  17. Terry

    I taste cotton candy in it

  18. Yee

    Am I the only one who thinks it taste like cherry? With a hint of grape

  19. Mandy Hess

    I thought it had a mixed berry flavor with cotton candy

  20. Mandy Hess

    I thought it had a mixed berry flavor with cotton candy I had a little bit left in the bottom of my cup and poured it in the water the sparkles didn’t sink they swirled around
