The Hot Dog on a Stick Jolly Rancher Watermelon Lemonade is launching at participating locations this summer to provide patrons of all ages with a sweet, refreshing way to beat the heat.
The drink starts off with the brand's signature lemonade for a refreshingly tart taste, which is paired with the recognizable flavor of Jolly Rancher Watermelon candy. This helps to merge two classic summertime flavors and is the perfect pairing with one off the brand's signature food menu items.
The Hot Dog on a Stick Jolly Rancher Watermelon Lemonade comes as the brand's second collaboration with the candy brand and is arriving for June 2022. The drink follows the continued collaboration of many legacy brands as they seek to offer consumers fun product mashups.
