McDonald’s just introduced limited-edition drink carriers
McDonald's is always ready to quench your thirst with something new.
The fast food giant has announced that it is introducing a brand new line of specialty drinks, which it says feature “bright, rich flavors and a whole new reason to visit the Golden Arches.”
Starting May 6, 2026, customers can choose from three new soft drinks and three handcrafted carbonated drinks. The range includes:
- Strawberry Watermelon Refresher: A drink that “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: A drink that “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: A drink that “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: A drink that “infuses our iconic Sprite with a sweet blue raspberry syrup—topped off with decadent cold foam as the final touch.”
- Orange Dream: A drink that 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: A drink that “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,” Alyssa Buetikofer, the chief marketing and customer experience officer at McDonald’s USA, shared.
“We’ve taken the time to get this right, introducing new drinks that are hand-crafted with bold flavors and quality ingredients that our fans can taste in every sip. Only McDonald’s can bring that kind of life experience consistently across nearly 14,000 restaurants, every single day.”
But wait, because McDonald’s is also introducing an accessory that goes with these drinks, too.
In a statement, she shared that she collaborated with designer Susan Alexandra to create six limited-edition beaded drink cases that “free up your hands and elevate your look.” Plus, as a little bonus, each case comes with a $10 McDonald’s Arch card so you can “pick up a drink that ties the whole moment together.”
But if you want a carrier, you’d better hurry, because they’ll only be available at SusanAlexandra.com starting May 6th, 2026, while supplies last. But if you do get one anyway, you’ll definitely have the trendiest soda on the market.
