An article summarized by Quartz:

McDonald’s is rolling out six new specialty drinks nationwide starting May 6th, expanding its permanent beverage menu with three refreshers and three crafted sodas. The refreshers, Strawberry Watermelon, Mango Pineapple, and Blackberry Passion Fruit, feature a lemonade base and include add-ins like freeze-dried fruit or strawberry popping boba. Each of these drinks also contains caffeine, positioning them as more than just traditional fruit beverages.

The crafted sodas build on familiar flavors already offered at McDonald’s. Sprite Berry Blast mixes Sprite with blue raspberry syrup and cold foam, Orange Dream blends Hi-C Orange Lavaburst with vanilla and cold foam, and Dirty Dr Pepper combines Dr Pepper with vanilla flavor and cold foam. The company says these drinks are designed to deliver bold, customizable flavors that appeal to customers increasingly interested in unique beverage options.

The nationwide launch is made possible by McDonald’s massive U.S. footprint of roughly 14,000 locations, most of which are operated by independent franchisees. To promote the release, McDonald’s is also collaborating with accessories brand Susan Alexandra to sell limited-edition beaded drink carriers, each bundled with a $10 Arch Card, available online while supplies last.
