Crushed ice, lemon juice and sugar, blended into a smooth slush. Sold from Del's-branded trucks across Rhode Island every summer since 1948.

Angelo DeLucia of Cranston founded Del's Lemonade in 1948 using his grandfather Franco's frozen lemonade recipe, which Franco had brought from Naples at the turn of the century. The first cart was a pushcart in Cranston; modified Table Talk Pies trucks soon followed and still serve as the fleet today. Del's juices about 300,000 lemons in an average Rhode Island summer. The brand has grown into a national mail-order item, but the trucks remain the canonical way to drink it; they begin rotating in April and run through October.
