Kelly McArdle, a junior in Temple’s Department of Religion, has fond memories of eating coconut flavored Italian water ice on hot summer days.
So when her employer, Saxbys Coffee, announced on their Facebook page that they would hold a contest to create a new latte for summer, McArdle knew which flavor she wanted to recreate.
Her entry, Banana Boat Latte, made with coconut, banana and almond syrups, won the contest with more than 3,000 votes from Saxbys’ Facebook fans and has been sold in Saxbys nationwide since June 1.
