It is the summer of peaches as fast-food giant Chick-fil-A welcomes back the juicy fruit to its menu.
Starting Monday, customers can enjoy the Peach Milkshake, which has returned for its 16th year, as well as the new Peach Frosted Lemonade.
“There’s something about the Peach Milkshake that really feels like the start of summer, and for 16 years our Guests have expected – and anticipated – its return,” Allison Duncan, director of menu and packaging at Chick-fil-A, said in a statement.
“As we continue to surprise and delight our Guests with new and unique flavors throughout the year, we wanted to offer a spin on the peach taste everyone knows and loves with the Peach Frosted Lemonade,” Duncan added. “So whether it’s a picnic in the park with friends, or a weeknight dinner with family, our Peach treats – paired with crispy Chick-n-Strips – are the perfect duo to share a bite and soak up the flavors of summer.”
CHICK-FIL-A BRINGS BACK SAUCY LIMITED-TIME MENU ITEM, INTRODUCES NEW DRINKS
Earlier this year, Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A Inc. cut nearly 10,000 hours of work per day at its locations through the automation of lemon squeezing, which produces the juice used in one of the fast-food chain’s most popular drinks, according to reports.
Summer officially begins on June 20, but springtime favorite Pineapple Dragonfruit seasonal beverages will be sticking around through Aug. 16, as long as supplies last until then, Chick-fil-A said.
