Recently, beverages have become a top focus in the food industry, leading many to bank on this trend by investing time and resources into developing unique drinks that appeal to a younger audience.

This year, McDonald’s announced it would add beverages from CosMc’s to its menu and close all spin-off locations, and Yum! Brand’s (YUM) Taco Bell opened its beverage-focused Live Más Café at the end of last year.

However, with so much growing competition, chains have begun taking ideas from one another in hopes of creating a better version, which has led some to often overlap with each other.

Fast-food chains hop on a beverage trend that Chick-fil-A started

Last month, McDonald’s (MCD) rolled out its first-ever housemade lemonade nationwide, making it a permanent menu item.

However, this tactic seemed a bit familiar to some because although lemonade is a common beverage offered at fast-food establishments, Chick-fil-A is known for being among the first chains to make its own natural version, turning it into a signature menu item.

Chick-fil-A introduced its freshly squeezed lemonade in 1977, marketing it as a product made with real lemon juice and without preservatives or artificial colors.

Since then, freshly squeezed lemonade has become the most-ordered drink on Chick-fil-A’s menu, prompting it to launch more varieties. These include the diet version with Splenda, the frosted lemonade, and many seasonal flavor additions.

Chick-fil-A returns a beloved seasonal favorite and more

In honor of a new season, Chick-fil-A is returning the Peach Milkshake and launching a new Peach Frosted Lemonade on June 9, which has become a seasonal summer tradition for the last 16 years.

The Peach Milkshake blends peach puree with its vanilla milkshake base, topped with whipped cream and a cherry, while the new Peach Frosted Lemonade blends peach puree, Chick-fil-A’s iconic lemonade, and soft-serve ice cream.

If milkshakes or frosted lemonade aren’t your thing, customers can also add peach puree to select drinks, including lemonade, Sonjoy, and tea, to customize a peach drink to their liking, as reported by @snackolator.
