Summer is here and so are peach beverages
For more than a decade, peach flavours have kicked off the summer season for Chick-fil-A® fans, capturing hearts and taste buds as standout offerings.
Known for its classic summertime taste, the Peach Milkshake is hand-spun the old-fashioned way, combining Chick-fil-A Icedream® dessert with real peach puree. Topped off with whipped cream and a cherry (except when served via delivery) the treat is a summer staple.
A summertime classic rooted in memories
Truett Cathy's Icedream recipe, first served at the Dwarf Grill (now known as The Dwarf House restaurant) in the 1940s, helped inspire the Peach Milkshake. The classic, old-fashioned vanilla taste brings together Chick-fil-A Chef Angela Canada’s memories of summertime togetherness.
“When tasked with creating a new seasonal milkshake, I couldn’t help but think back to my childhood memories of making homemade peach ice cream with my grandmothers,” said Angela. “I vividly remember the smell of ripe peaches and fresh milk and still cherish the memories of sitting together for hours hand-cranking the machine.”
After more than 15 iterations of the recipe, Angela created peach perfection. Little did she know that her childhood experience would inspire summer memories for guests for years to come, evoking a feeling of nostalgia and carefree summer days with loved ones.
Bringing summer to every sip.
To this day, the Peach Milkshake remains a fan favourite with guests counting the days until they can get their hands on the seasonal sweet treat.
“Guests consistently ask our Team Members when the Peach Milkshake will be back on the menu, so we want to continue to make this a yearly tradition for them,” said Angela. “At the same time, we want to keep offering a variety of flavours, so we’re always developing new and exciting seasonal offerings in our kitchen, in the hopes of creating future fan favourites.”
Positive news for peach lovers
Maybe it’s because we started in the Peach State, or because the fuzzy fruit signals summertime. But whatever the reason, we’re bananas about peaches, and we’re always looking for ways to add it to our menu.
Luckily for peach lovers, we found it, and a new peach-flavoured drink.
The White Peach Sunjoy®, is a combination of two menu staples: Chick-fil-A® Lemonade (or Diet Lemonade) and freshly brewed Sweetened (or Unsweetened Iced Tea) blended with natural white peach flavour. The flavour of the white peach, rather than the yellow peach that is featured in the Peach Milkshake, is the perfect complement to the tartness of a Sunjoy beverage.
Alongside the seasonal Peach Milkshake, the White Peach Sunjoy will be on menus in Canada starting June 12, 2023. For a peachy take on your favourite order, you can also order the White Peach flavour with Lemonade, Frosted Lemonade and Iced Tea.
With summer in every sip, visit your local restaurant or order ahead online at order.chick-fil-a.ca to get your hands on the Peach Milkshake and White Peach beverages.
