The Burger King Frozen Strawberry drink is a deliciously fruity, candy-infused menu item making its debut from the brand with spring and summer sipping in mind. The beverage is crafted with a strawberry flavored base that's slush-like and extra-fruity to make it great for enjoyment during the warm weather months. The drink is elevated with NERDS candy on the top to help elevate the sweetness, while also incorporating a chromatic textural touch.
The Burger King Frozen Strawberry drink is available now at participating locations and builds on the brand's success with previous iced beverages like Cotton Candy Cloud, Fanta Kickin' Mango and Pink Lemonade. The drink is arriving just in time to coincide with National Strawberry Month (May), which will see guests able to pick one up for just $1 through the BK app or the brand's website.
