Rainbow Cone reveals 4 new specialty cones for the first time in 98 years

CHICAGO — The Original Rainbow Cone Ice Cream Shop, a Chicago staple since 1926, announced the addition of four new sliced creations for the first time since its founding nearly a hundred years ago.

In addition to their well renowned five-flavor ice cream cone, fans of Rainbow Cone can now enjoy slices of Orange Dream, Chocolate Obsession, Minty City and Cosmic Birthday when visiting the ice cream shop.

According to Rainbow Cone’s culinary director Tony Scheri, each new flavor can be served on a cake or waffle cone and offers a new twist to their classic ice cream flavors.

“We’re not just adding to our menu, we’re crafting a new chapter in Rainbow Cone’s storied history,” said Joe Buonavolanto III, Executive Vice President of The Buona Companies, the parent company of Rainbow Cone. “As we rapidly introduce the brand to new markets, we’re blending innovation with tradition.

“Our new sliced creations build upon the legacy of our iconic five-flavor ice cream cone, and we’re eager to share them with our newest fans as well as those who have enjoyed Rainbow Cone for generations.”

Scheri said The Orange Dream offers a blend of orange sherbet and vanilla, while the Chocolate Obsession satisfies the cravings of chocolate lovers with double the chocolate. Minty City pays homage to the brand’s roots with a fresh mint chocolate chip flavor, and the Cosmic Birthday is a “smile-sparking stack” of Superman and birthday cake ice cream slices.
