Chick-fil-A Is Bringing Back a Fan-Favorite Drink After a 6-Year Hiatus

Hot on the heels of sharing some news that fans were less-than-excited about, Chick-fil-A was back in the news today, but thankfully this announcement should be a crowd-pleaser. The chicken chain announced it was bringing a new drink to its menu to help guests, "squeeze the most out of spring."

And it's not just any drink—this one was, "brought back by popular demand," after a six-year hiatus. It's none other than the Watermelon Mint Lemonade, plus three additional variations on the refreshing drink.

First introduced in 2017, the sweet sippers bring the flavors of fresh watermelon and mint to Chick-fil-A's signature lemonade. The seasonal lemonade will also be available in the Watermelon Mint Sunjoy, an Arnold Palmer-esque combination of sweet tea and Watermelon Mint Lemonade. For those who want things a little less sweet, the chain will also offer Watermelon Mint Iced Tea which substitutes the sweet tea for freshly-brewed iced tea.

Finally—and this is the one we're most excited about—Chick-fil-A will offer the Watermelon Mint Lemonade in a frosted version, as well. This sippable, scoopable treat combines the Watermelon Mint Lemonade with Chick-fil-A’s Icedream soft serve.

"Seasonal variations of our signature beverages continue to gain popularity with our customers, " said Leslie Neslage, Chick-fil-A's director of menu and packaging. "Guests loved the Watermelon Mint Lemonade in 2017, so we are thrilled to bring it back to our menu and introduce new ways for guests to enjoy this flavor."

The four sweet, springtime beverages will be available starting April 3 and stay on menus through the spring, or while supplies last. The limited-time drinks will be available at participating Chick-fil-A locations nationwide.
