Del's Lemonade of Cumberland, part of the Del's Lemonade brand founded in Rhode Island, is known for its frozen lemonade treats. The recipe traces back to Naples, Italy, where Angelo DeLucia's grandfather made lemon "granitas" with snow, fresh lemon juice, and sugar. Angelo's father brought the recipe to the United States, and Angelo created a machine to produce the frozen lemonade in 1948. Del's Lemonade has grown to over 50 franchises in 20 states, with many in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.
A visitor to Del's of Cumberland praised the Tangerine Orange flavor as refreshing. The location, a short detour from the Blackstone River Bikeway, offers six flavors, take-out business, picnic tables, snacks, merchandise, and a CASH ONLY policy. While the reviewer considered Del's the best lemonade around, they also mentioned enjoying apple cider from another vendor and a variety of ice cream products from an ice cream truck named Nessa. Del's Lemonade of Cumberland stands out for its historic recipe, variety of flavors, and commitment to a classic lemonade experience.
