This isn’t a place to impose your preferences. The reward at the end of the rainbow is a sugar cone soaked with five flavors. Can you imagine a world without orange? Don’t even think about getting a cup. Also, substitution or omission throws the whole thing out of harmony. This is a creative cone, but one that was so visionary as to become timeless. It achieves an abstract impressionist aesthetic that fine dining platings often attempt to capture, but rarely achieve. The sherbet hangs precariously to the side of the stack like an orange beret, capping off the rainbow. Each patty shaped scoop is piled on top of the next to form a leaning tower of flavors. The construction and layering of the Rainbow Cone is part of its charm. The Palmer House is a crucial layer because it imparts crunch and sundae dressing to the busy cone. This nearly forgotten flavor is vanilla ice cream studded with walnuts and maraschino cherries. We should note that vanilla isn’t actually vanilla, but Palmer House. A color and flavor spectrum erupts from the cone: chocolate brown, strawberry pink, vanilla beige, pistachio green, topped with orange sherbet. The Original Rainbow Cone addressed this problem almost a century ago with a five-flavor flight.
Ice cream shops are meant to inspire joy, but some customers feel anxious when they must commit to a flavor or two out of dozens.
