Here are the Top 3 Out of the 70 New Drinks at the State Fair

We have all heard now that there are a bunch of new drinks that will be featured this year at the Minnesota State Fair coming the end of August through Labor Day.

It's always fun to see what the new foods, vendors and drinks that will make it to the fair each year.  And it's also amazing that they keep coming up with new foods and drinks each year.  It seems like a lot of pressure for the vendors that are featuring the new foods and drinks.

The foods and drinks that are new at the fair each year usually go along with whats trending around the country and here in Minnesota.  It was a big deal with many vendors started adding gluten free, vegan, vegetarian options to the bizzillon choices of foods throughout the fair.  Same with the drinks.  Whatever is trending, you can probably find something at one of the vendor booths at the fair.

Going through the list, here are my top 3 that I need to try.

GRAPE APE WINE SLUSHY

Honestly, if you are truely a Minnesotan, how can you not include the Grape Ape?  Vikings, Purple People Eater, it's a staple.

You can find this drink at the French Creperie.

SHAMROCK SLUSHY

This is just screaming St Patrick's Day!  Plus, it has whipped cream.  It's like getting to celebrate the holiday a little bit early.

You can find this drink at O'Gara's at the Fair

WHATS IN IT?

This icy combination of cool crème de menthe flavor and smooth vanilla is as refreshing as it is indulgent. Topped with a swirl of whipped cream delivering a creamy finish that is festive, frosty and utterly irresistable. 5% ABV.

APPLE CIDER PUMPKIN SPICE

Yep!!  Had to put this one on the list.  But it's not a coffee drink.  It's a beer!
