To celebrate the start of summer, Chick-fil-A is serving up a brand new Mango Passion Tea Lemonade and bringing back its fan-favorite Peach Milkshake.
Chick-fil-A's new Mango Passion Tea Lemonade is the chain's first new seasonal beverage since the Strawberry Passion Tea Lemonade debuted back in the summer of 2019. The new Mango Passion Tea Lemonade is a hand-crafted beverage that starts with the chain's freshly brewed Unsweetened Iced Tea. The iced tea is then blended with the classic Chick-fil-A Lemonade and a sweet mango syrup.
The new Mango Passion Tea Lemonade was originally tested at select locations in Jacksonville, Florida and the company says it's "excited to offer it to guests around the country and give them more variety to help sweeten up a meal or midday snack this summer."
