Big City Energy
You and your clique take fun just as seriously as you take your work. Thus, the Dirty Dr Pepper® should be the unofficial drink sponsor of any group trip. The destination? Think New Orleans, Miami, or New York: cities known for their vibrant, diverse cultures, and locals who are always ready to lead you on an adventure. With notes of vanilla flavor and the extra happiness only a cold foam top-off can bring, this bold new beverage easily passes the vibe check. And after everything is said and done, all you’ll need is a quick McDonald’s pit stop to relive the moments and carry the vibe forward.
All Roads Lead Home
As the old adage goes, your cousins are often your first friends. Good thing spending time with your literal day ones isn’t confined to holidays or family reunions. It includes staycations, jet-setting to different countries, and road trips to Southern destinations that harken back to your childhood. With its perfect blend of strawberry and watermelon flavors and a tangy lemonade base, the caffeinated Strawberry Watermelon Refresher is the recharge you need to fuel the adventure as you make your way to a glamping experience in the Tennessee mountains or North Carolina hills. The familiar flavors of your new favorite drink will power you through whatever adventures await you in your cozy cabin or eco-friendly pod. It’s the perfect recipe for unlocking new core memories.
Chase the Chill
This summer, while your friends and family are making seasonal plans, this is your chance to take a different route. Sure, you love the sun on your skin and the freedom of being outside, but the moment you treat yourself to the new Sprite® Berry Blast, you’ll be reminded that what you really want is to jump into a fresh bed of snow—and you don’t have to wait until winter to do it. Draw inspiration for an arctic getaway that feels a little calmer and more intentional than what the family has in mind with one sip of this drink featuring iconic Sprite® flavor, blue raspberry flavor, and a cold foam topping. Think Mount Hood in Oregon or Mammoth Mountain in California. Or, for those ready to go all in, explore the slopes in Chile or Argentina—the kind of destinations where the views are stunning, the air feels crisp, and the pace slows down just enough to take it all in.
Poolside Vibes Only
Picture this: You’re poolside with your crew. The soundtrack: your shared group playlist with all your favorite classics. The staff: attentive and always accommodating. The menu: exotic, shareable light bites that give you plenty of comfort in your cabana. The background: a peaceful oasis with the perfect view, a glowing sunset. In other words: everything you need for a staycation that feels elevated without going over the top. All you need is a Blackberry Passion Fruit Refresher in hand. It’s tasty and light, with bold flavors of blackberry and passion fruit and freeze-dried dragon fruit adding to the relaxation. Bonus: this perfect addition to your staycation packs just enough caffeine to keep the good times going as the day winds down.
Where the Dream Takes You
If you’re an outdoor girlie who loves history, then you already know nothing compares to walking in the footprints of Black excellence—where every trail, landmark, and historic site tells a story worth experiencing. Whether it’s a Florida island, the Great Plains of Kansas, or the infamous Texas barracks, the new Orange Dream will take you back to the good ol’ days. The refreshing taste of Hi-C® Orange Lavaburst® combined with cold foam creates a euphoric, citrusy finish that will transform your palate with just one sip of this smooth, flavorful drink.
Tropical Escape
We know there’s a lot going on these days. And what you might really want (and need) is to throw caution to the wind, pack your favorite bathing suit, and head to the nearest beach for pure relaxation. The Mango Pineapple Refresher—infused with a caffeine boost—will make your beach day feel like you’ve escaped to the islands for a quintessential tropical getaway. Every sip of this lemonade-based drink, mixed with mango and pineapple flavors and bursting strawberry popping boba, will feel like a luxurious self-care activity, especially when the sun hits just right.
With summer around the corner and the all new drinks at McDonald’s on the way, there’s no better time to start planning your PTO for the rest of the year. Make your way to your local McDonald’s and grab one (or all six) of these new beverages.
