With this beverage technology, guests can have up to 16 different flavor combinations. In some ways, this refreshment could leave to creative food and beverage pairings. Why couldn’t Moe’s create a special beverage that enhanced the flavor of that burrito or bowl. The possibilities with this idea are many.

While the ICEE addition is one aspect, Moe’s also offers a special variety of Hubert’s Lemonade, an exclusive Moerita and Sprite Unleashed the Peach custom flavors. These exclusive Moe’s beverages have received positive feedback.

Thinking about these special beverage options, it raises the idea of how fast casual restaurant both set themselves apart and create a loyal guest following. While good food and great value is key, the reality is that unique offerings are always important.

Looking ahead, it will be interesting to see how other fast casual restaurants leverage this beverage idea. Just think back to Taco Bell and Baja Blast. That food and beverage combination is legendary.
