Freddy’s is rolling out a new drink lineup called Freddy’s Bevies, led by five Custard Cream Sodas and three flavored tea and lemonade options. The drinks are available now at participating locations.
According to Freddy’s via PRNewswire, the new beverages can be ordered through the drive-thru, inside restaurants, and by pickup or delivery through the Freddy’s mobile app or Freddy’s website.
I’ll admit, Custard Cream Soda sounds like something pulled from an old soda fountain menu, just with a modern twist. Super familiar and nostalgic.
New drinks on the menu
Freddy’s Bevies includes:
- Golden Hour Orange Custard Cream Soda: Starry blended with candied orange and topped with Freddy’s custard cream.
- Peach Peach Baby Custard Cream Soda: Starry blended with peach and topped with Freddy’s custard cream.
- Coco Loco Custard Cream Soda: Dr Pepper blended with coconut and topped with Freddy’s custard cream.
- Blue Rizzberry Custard Cream Soda: Starry blended with blue raspberry syrup and topped with Freddy’s custard cream.
- Mango Magic Custard Cream Soda: Starry blended with mango and topped with Freddy’s custard cream.
Freddy’s also added three fruit-flavored tea and lemonade options. Each one can be made with freshly brewed iced tea or Tropicana lemonade. These include:
- Peachy Keen Tea or Lemonade: Tea or lemonade blended with peach.
- Strawberry Sunset Tea or Lemonade: Tea or lemonade blended with strawberry.
- Mango Sunrise Tea or Lemonade: Tea or lemonade blended with mango.
Freddy’s leans into premium drinks
Freddy’s stated that customers are looking for more elevated drink choices, and the company is tying the launch to the larger premium beverage trend.
“Premium beverage growth is exploding right now, and at Freddy’s, our Guests are increasingly seeking more elevated drink options,” said Rick Petralia, Sr. Director of Menu Strategy & Innovation.
“Our Custard Cream Sodas offer a richer and creamier take on the dirty soda trend, highlighting fun and refreshing flavors unique to Freddy’s with the addition of our vanilla custard cream. Whether you’re craving something creamy or fruity, each new Freddy’s Bevies drink delivers a distinctive flavor profile that pairs perfectly with our menu items.”
For anyone watching sugar or calories, this is probably a treat, not an everyday drink.
