Hailed as the Rhode Island state drink, this delicious beverage is very hard to find in other parts of the country, even in other parts of New England. It's a Rhode Island specialty. If you've not from Rhode Island, you've got to try it! Recommended brand is Autocrat, which you can find at most supermarkets in Rhode Island (comes as a syrup). Make sure you add a little bit more syrup than the directions say to ;-). Also, lots of Rhode Island restaurants and diners serve it as well. The McDonalds in the area also serve coffee shakes, which are also impossible to find in most other states.
