Highlight of the story: Burger King is coming for your iced coffee loyalty card with a bold new drinks lineup, featuring foamy cold brews and real juice lemonades. As the fast-food drink wars heat up, BK is serving serious competition to Starbucks and McDonald’s in its juiciest menu revamp yet. Let the sip showdown begin.
Move over, Starbucks. Burger King has just entered the iced coffee chat—and no, they are not playing it safe. The fast-food chain has rolled out four Iced Coffee Cold Foam options, including Vanilla, Mocha, Black, and a limited-edition Plain (which is only available at select spots, so basically: good luck). Gen Z caffeine lovers, brace yourselves.
This big swing is part of BK’s latest mission to level up its drinks game and, let’s be real, snatch a bit of that coffee cash from its rivals.
But the tea, or should we say lemonade, does not stop there. Burger King has also dropped two Real Juice Lemonades: Strawberry Lemonade made with real fruit juice, and a Mango Peach Lemonade that sounds like it came straight out of a summer picnic fantasy.
The drinks are priced at a recommended $2.49 (small), $2.79 (medium), and $3.29 (large), though prices may vary depending on your zip code and the universe’s mood that day.
According to BK’s team, the goal was to serve something “delicious and refreshing” that feels less like fast food and more like a mini escape.
The meaty new Whopper includes slow-cooked brisket, crispy onions, American cheese, sweet barbecue sauce, lettuce, tomato, creamy mayo, and a flame-grilled patty. Oh, and there is a Whopper Jr. version for the minimalists.
Industry insiders say this entire menu glow-up is not just for vibes. Financial experts believe Burger King is fighting to win back customers who stopped dining out during inflation struggles.
BK’s drinks revamp is a calculated move to lure Starbucks stans, McDonald’s loyalists, and Dutch Bros drive-thru regulars into the kingdom. It is a beverage battlefield out there, and BK just brewed its boldest comeback yet.
