Never underestimate the power of Nerds.
Burger King Just Released a New Strawberry Frozen Drink, and It Tastes Like Nostalgia
Published on Apr. 28, 2025
Burger King is no stranger to gimmicky menu items, and I’m here for every single one. Last year, the King gifted us the always-sensational Churro Fries, which are, luckily, still available right now. The chain’s Pickle Fries did not fail to satisfy, either. They continue to occupy my thoughts even months later, and I miss them dearly.
What’s next on the King’s agenda? I heard whispers of a new drink coming for the hot summer months; whispers of a fruity, frozen concoction that could be topped with tiny, colorful Nerds. It’s the Frozen Strawberry drink, and I sped straight to the drive-thru for a taste.
What does the Frozen Strawberry drink taste like?
To begin, the drink is maddeningly sweet. I’d expect no less from this kind of beverage, though, and I imagine it will be such a sugary relief on hot summer days. The consistency is similar to the Icee I used to slurp at movie theaters as a kid—not so frozen that it won’t suck up through your straw, but just enough to make it thick so you let it melt on your tongue.
Honestly, the frozen strawberry drink hit like nostalgia. The syrup was strawberry to the umpteenth degree, and it reminded me of the Fla-vor-Ice tubes I used to crunch on when I was younger. Add the overdose of crunchy Nerds on top, and you’ve got an intensely saccharine experience.
Overall, it was tasty. I can only take so much sugar at a time, so this won’t be something I’ll order daily. However, the product delivers. It’s full of flavor with a unique texture combo that will likely find a foothold in many people’s fast-food agendas (especially the under-12 age group).
And I will say, it complements a Texas Double Whopper beautifully.
How long will the drink be at BK?
We asked Burger King how long the Frozen Strawberry drink would be on the menu and were told: “for a limited time!”
Not a conclusive answer, but we imagine it will stick around through the better part of summer. Next time you’re at the King, give it a try! The strawberry lover in you will be ecstatic.
