As summer approaches, every foodie’s favorite time of the year also does: the release of summer menu items. From Dunkin’ to Starbucks, food and drink chains are slowly but surely dropping specialty summer items. Some of us have waited all year for the return of summer items, as well as the release of new ones. It’s impossible to get your hands on them outside of the summer months, so we need to take advantage of them while they’re available. That’s how many Chick-fil-A fans feel about the iconic peach milkshake, which is making its return for the summer season, along with a new summer exclusive.
What is the Chick-fil-A peach milkshake?
The Chick-fil-A peach milkshake is the chain’s signature summer menu item. It combines the Icedream frozen dessert with real peach purée and is topped with whipped cream and a cherry. This is the 16th year that the peach milkshake is joining Chick-fil-A’s menu for the summer, and we hope it makes its return for many years to come. Inspired by a homemade peach ice cream recipe, it’s the perfect sweet treat for summer. It pairs well with everything on Chick-fil-A’s menu, especially the fries (if you’re not dipping your fries in a shake, what are you even doing?). and it tastes like summer in a cup. Some even consider it to be the best Chick-fil-A milkshake flavor, despite it being available for only a limited time each year.
The fruity drink is only available once the summer starts, so fans are left mourning it during the rest of the year. Peach milkshake lovers have taken it upon themselves to create their own recipes to replace the drink when it’s not available, like Nick DiGiovanni. While nothing beats the original from Chick-fil-A, the copycat recipes are close enough. They really come in handy during the winter months, when the peach milkshake withdrawals start to hit. Luckily, summer is right around the corner, so fans don’t have to wait much longer to get their hands on the iconic shake.
What new summer item is Chick-fil-A introducing?
Peach lovers, there’s more good news — especially if you’re a fan of Frosted Lemonade. The Chick-fil-A Frosted Lemonade is a year-round staple and one of the chain’s most popular drinks. The drink, which is a combination of lemonade and the Icedream dessert, is a classic at Chick-fil-A, along with the peach milkshake. That’s why Chick-fil-A is combining the two to make the Peach Frosted Lemonade. It’s made with lemonade (or diet lemonade), peaches, and of course, Icedream. If you’re a fan of both the peach milkshake and the Frosted Lemonade, this drink was literally made for you. What screams summer more than a drink with peach and lemonade flavors? Plus, it’s frosted, making it extra refreshing during those particularly hot summer days.
When can I get the Chick-fil-A Peach Milkshake and the new Peach Frosted Lemonade?
Both the peach milkshake and the Peach Frosted Lemonade will be available at Chick-fil-A starting June 9. But remember, they are only available for the summer, so make sure you get your fill of them before fall rolls around. I’ll be drinking a peach milkshake and Peach Frosted Lemonade with every Chick-fil-A meal I get this summer. Let’s face it — I’ll probably go to Chick-fil-A solely for these drinks.
