# Limited-Edition Summertime Sports Drinks Gatorade Summer Blaze is a Circle K Exclusive Flavor By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2025-05-30 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gatorade-summer-blaze References: [allrecipes](https://www.allrecipes.com/new-gatorade-flavor-summer-blaze-11741484)  The Gatorade Summer Blaze sports drink has been announced as a limited-edition flavor of the brand's signature thirst quencher that's making its way to Circle K convenience stores only this summer. The drink is available now for consumers to pick up ahead of scorching temperatures and hasn't had its official flavor profile confirmed by the brand. This has seen many consumers take to social media to voice their opinion with many pointing to peach, grapefruit and cherry, orange and nectarine tasting notes. The Gatorade Summer Blaze sports drink comes as part of the brand's continued theme of creating beverages inspired by a concept rather than a particular flavor. The drink is a limited time offering only available for the summer months.
