We’re getting a brand new refreshment courtesy of A&W! It’s cold, creamy, and delicious; perfect for the summer season!

A&W has been around for more than a hundred years. They’ve been an staple in the industry and have been known for their burgers and of course, their root beer. That should be enough to convince you that A&W really knows what they’re doing when it comes to making refreshments. Over the years, they’ve come out with some of the most iconic menu items and it looks like they’ve got another hit this summer.

Let’s be honest, we all love summer. It’s a great season filled with great holidays, great events, and most of all, great food. But it can get a little too hot sometimes and we’ll need something to cool down. It’s a good thing that establishments like A&W are here to save the day! To help us cool off this season, A&W just launched their brand new limited-edition Strawberry Watermelon Cream Freeze. A&W brings their A-game when it comes to making soda floats and it shows with this brand new menu item. This seasonal item blends creamy vanilla soft-serve with the flavors of real strawberries and watermelon. Then it adds a twist in the form of Starry lemon-lime soda for that citrusy and refreshing touch.

The Strawberry Watermelon Cream Freeze has everything going for it to be a classic summer drink. Here’s hoping this item takes off and will be a recurring seasonal item in A&W’s menu.

So what are you waiting for? Try the new limited edition Strawberry Watermelon Cream Freeze today before it’s gone!

Best Frozen Drinks From A&W

A&W has steadily been making a great selection of frozen drinks over the years. Ever since they’ve cracked the recipe for making one of the best root beer ever, A&W has been continuously innovating refreshments and beverages to create something even better. Now their classic Root Beer is hard to top but that should tell you how good these frozen drinks are.

Sweet Cream Frozen Lemonade
If you want something truly refreshing for a summer drink, you can’t go wrong with the Sweet Cream Frozen Lemonade. This frozen beverage combines A&W’s unique frozen lemonade blend with their signature sweet cream. Each sip will give you a burst of flavor that’s both sweet and zesty at the same time. Here’s hoping we could see this limited-time item back on A&W’s menu soon.

Root Beer Float
Nothing really beats the classics. A&W’s Root Beer was an instant hit and their Root Beer Float was a game changer. It changed the way we looked at floats and set a standard that all other floats need to live up to. It’s a pretty simple drink but is still bursting with flavor. It’s made of A&W’s famous Root Beer, which is made with real cane sugar and a blend of secret ingredients, topped with creamy vanilla soft serve and served in their iconic frosted mug. This is a can’t miss treat and something that will never go out of style.

What’s New at A&W?

Apart from the Strawberry Watermelon Cream Freeze, there’s always something new to try and look forward to in . While they don’t release as much new menu items as often as other fast food chains, the ones they do are pretty amazing. This year alone has seen some of the best fast food items ever to grace A&W’s menu. Let’s take a look at some of their highlights this year.

Spicy Piri-Piri Buddy Burgers
This was a limited-time offering at A&W that was inspired by a popular customer request. It’s like as if a secret menu item actually made it to their regular menu. The Spicy Piri-Piri Buddy Burgers came in three varieties: seasoned chicken breast, grass-fed beef patty, or a crispy hash brown potato patty. All of them are topped with the piri-piri sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions on a toasted bun. These burgers had the right amount of heat to keep things interesting while not overwhelming you with spiciness. They were released back in February 2024 but has since been taken off the menu.

French Onion Double Cheeseburger
This is A&W’s latest burger and boy does it taste amazing. This new menu item was released back in April 2024 and it offers up a twist on their classic burger. It introduces richer flavors that were inspired by the classic French onion soup dish. This burger has two all-beef patties, grilled onions, and Boursin cheese all packed into a toasted bun. All the ingredients come together to give you a savory dining experience. It can get a little messy but it’s all worth it. The best part is that the French Onion Double Cheeseburger is currently a part of A&W’s permanent menu.

From The Club

You better add this to your list of must try seasonal items this summer! The Strawberry Watermelon Cream Freeze just might be the perfect treat/drink this season. It has an excellent mix of flavors but the texture and the creamy aftertaste is what really elevates this into something more of an experience rather than a drink. It’s a great addition to A&W’s menu and is something we should all try before it’s discontinued.
