Burger King has launched a new frozen drink designed to bring back memories of carefree summer days: the Frozen Strawberry Flavored & Nerds beverage. This icy treat combines a sweet, smooth slush base with a crunchy Nerds candy topping, creating a bold and playful flavor experience that’s bright and fun.
The drink, available nationwide starting April 24 for a limited time, comes in strawberry or blue raspberry flavors. The slush is cool and refreshing, while the Nerds add a tangy, textured finish that balances the sweetness. It’s a simple but effective combo that focuses on fun rather than complexity.
This release continues Burger King’s recent trend of introducing eye-catching frozen beverages. Past hits like Fanta Kickin’ Mango, Cotton Candy Cloud, and Pink Lemonade show the brand’s knack for nostalgic, colorful drinks that invite social media sharing. The Nerds-topped Frozen Strawberry drink fits perfectly into this pattern, offering customers vibrant flavors and a joyful experience as summer heats up.
The launch reflects a larger trend in fast food. According to Datassential’s 2025 food and beverage report, younger consumers—especially Gen Z and millennials—are drawn to playful, indulgent flavors that reinvent childhood snacks in adult-friendly forms. Burger King’s new drink blurs the line between dessert and beverage, mixing nostalgia with modern marketing.
Social media reactions to the new drink have been mixed. Some fans compared it to similar offerings from Sonic, with one commenter saying, “It’s giving: Sonic dupe,” while another replied, “I’ll just go to Sonic.” However, many others embraced the flavor, calling it “a 2000s candy fantasy” and “so good!” One user summed it up simply: “Now this makes me want to go to BK lol.”
To celebrate National Strawberry Month, Burger King is running a special promotion. Every Saturday in May, customers can get a free classic Frozen Strawberry Flavored drink (without the Nerds) with any purchase of $1 or more through the BK app or website, while supplies last at participating U.S. locations.
Whether you want to revisit a candy-coated childhood memory or just need a refreshing, cold treat, Burger King’s latest frozen drink offers both — and then some.
