Refreshing Summer Slushies

The Arnold Palmer Coolatta is a Frozen Beverage for the Ages

Dunkin' Donuts teamed up with canned iced tea company AriZona to create the Frozen Arnold Palmer Coolatta, a frozen beverage that screams "Summer!" at the top of its lungs.

The delicious drink combines the refreshing taste of iced tea with the zesty citrus flavor of lemonade in a delightful slushie form that will have you daydreaming about the beach.

Sure, it might be a little cold for slushies right about now, but you never know when you'll need a little refreshment in your life. I guarantee this this hybrid drink will quench your thirst. I can only imagine that Dunkin' Donuts is trying to replicate the success of other seasonal beverages, such as the Tim Horton's ice cap, with this frosty confection.
