Chick-fil-A’s Peach Milkshake Is Back — Plus an All-New New Frozen Summer Sip

Peach season is back at Chick-fil-A. Starting June 9, the chain will bring back its Peach Milkshake and introduce a new offering: the Peach Frosted Lemonade.

First introduced in 2009, the Peach Milkshake has been around long enough to count as a formative summer flavor for many Chick-fil-A fans — especially those who remember ordering one on a high school lunch break.

This year marks the 16th return of the Peach Milkshake, a summertime regular that leans into nostalgia with its blend of Chick-fil-A’s Icedream dessert and peaches, finished with whipped cream and a cherry. It was first created by culinary lead Angela Canada and was inspired by her grandmother’s homemade peach ice cream.

The newcomer, Peach Frosted Lemonade, adds a tart edge to the familiar flavor. Made with Chick-fil-A’s classic lemonade (or diet version), peaches, and Icedream, it’s designed to hit that sweet-then-sour summer craving.

“There’s something about the Peach Milkshake that really feels like the start of summer,” said Allison Duncan, Chick-fil-A’s director of menu and packaging. She adds that the new offering gives fans a new way to enjoy a flavor they’ve come to expect this time of year.

Chick-fil-A suggests pairing the peach drinks with Chick-n-Strips and a choose-your-own lineup of sauces. The seven options — Polynesian, Honey Mustard, Garden Herb Ranch, Chick-fil-A Sauce, Barbeque, Zesty Buffalo, and Sweet & Spicy Sriracha — cover the spectrum from sweet to smoky to sharp. Fans often mix sauces to create custom combinations, adding a bit of play to the meal: think Ranch with Sriracha or Polynesian sauce doubled down with Barbecue Sauce.

Peach is hardly a new summer flavor, but its staying power speaks to more than just trend cycles. The peach milkshake’s return might be a modern ritual, but the fruit’s Southern ties go back centuries. According to the New Georgia Encyclopedia, Franciscan monks introduced peaches to Georgia’s coast in 1571, and Cherokee communities were cultivating them by the 1700s — making peach one of the oldest cultivated flavors in the region.

From state fair soft serves to diner shake specials, the peach-and-cream combo feels tailor-made for hot weather and road trip pit stops. Adding lemonade brings it in line with current flavor pairings trending across the beverage space, where citrus meets creamy or fruit-forward bases for balance.

The two peach drinks are available through the summer “while supplies last” at participating locations. And if you’re more into tropical drinks than stone fruit, the Pineapple Dragonfruit beverages originally launched for spring are getting a seasonal extension through August 16.
