Is it us, or are fast food chains really getting excited about this whole possible post-COVID summer thing?
In the last few weeks, we’ve seen Burger King’s new chicken sandwich come a-clucking, Krispy Kreme frying up with some new tropical donut flavors (not to mention their vaccine promotion), a more than usual number of Memorial Day restaurant deals, and tons of burger joints going ga-ga for National Burger Day.
Well, you didn’t think Dunkin’ was going to skip the beach party, did you?
The donut chain has announced a new lineup of drinks to quench your sweaty summer days. And like their competition, Krispy Kreme, they’ve got their own new fruity donut to soak up said summer drinks too.
Starting this weekend, three new Dunkin’ lemonade varieties will be introduced -- strawberry, peach, and blueberry. Or as the chain’s press release more exuberantly tells it, “Dunkin’ Lemonade Refreshers create a summer blockbuster of refreshment by combining a classic taste of the season with vibrant fruit flavors for an exciting and energizing seasonal sip.”

Matching berry-powdered doughnuts and munchkins will also be available, featuring Dunkin’s signature old-fashioned cake ring tossed in a pink berry powder.
"Just in time for the unofficial start of the season, Dunkin' is delivering the celebration people are craving with a duo of delightful new choices created with warm weather and long sunny days in mind," said Jill Nelson, Vice President, Marketing & Culinary at Dunkin' in a press release.
On Friday, June 4, which is National Donut Day, fans can also enjoy a free classic donut of their choice with the purchase of any beverage, while supplies last.
Summer doesn't officially start until June 20th, but it's already pretty sweet.
