McDonald’s is ushering in a new era of beverages, bringing its first-ever lineup of specialty drinks to Dayton-area restaurants as part of a nationwide launch starting today!

McDonald’s fans have always had a special connection to the brand’s drinks – the kind of passion that made its iconic Sprite® and crispy Diet Coke® pop culture royalty and helped bring Hi-C® Orange Lavaburst back to menus.

McDonald’s is building on that fan love with six new specialty drinks – delivering bright, bold flavors and a whole new reason for McDonald’s fans to visit the Golden Arches. The starting lineup includes three new Refreshers and three crafted sodas, available in restaurants across the Dayton area and nationwide.

Serving up everyday moments – from a treat to a recharge to a reason to connect – the new drink lineup gives fans what they’ve been craving. Think: freeze-dried fruit inclusions; smooth, velvety cold foam; and popping boba. And the best part? These drinks are here to stay.

NEW DRINK LINEUP

Strawberry Watermelon Refresher* blends sweet strawberry and watermelon flavors with a lemonade base, plus freeze‑dried strawberries for an extra burst of flavor and visual flair.
Mango Pineapple Refresher* mixes tropical mango and pineapple flavors with a lemonade base and strawberry popping boba to deliver a juicy burst of flavor.
Blackberry Passion Fruit Refresher* pairs bold blackberry and passion fruit flavors with lemonade alongside freeze‑dried dragon fruit for a touch of sweetness and a pop of color.
Sprite® Berry Blast infuses our iconic Sprite® with a sweet blue raspberry syrup – topped off with decadent cold foam as the final touch.
Orange Dream is a twist on the fan-favorite Hi‑C® Orange Lavaburst at McDonald’s mixed with a hint of vanilla flavor and finished with cold foam for a smooth, dreamy citrus sip.
Dirty Dr Pepper® layers classic Dr Pepper® flavor with a vanilla flavor and a cloud of cold foam to create a rich finish.

“Our fans have an obsession with beverages – to them, drinks are more than just drinks. And soon, our beverages won’t just be a reason you come to McDonald’s, they’ll be the reason,” said Alyssa Buetikofer, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer, McDonald’s USA. “We’ve taken the time to get this right, introducing new drinks that are hand-crafted with bold flavors and quality ingredients our fans can taste in every sip. Only McDonald’s can bring that kind of experience to life consistently across nearly 14,000 restaurants, every single day.”McDonald’s Brings New Era of Drinks to Dayton
