Summer has arrived at Taco Bell! We’re continuing to do our part by staying home, but there’s nothing quite like a cold drink on a hot day. Now, and now you can enjoy one with your drive-thru order thanks to the new Pineapple Whip Freeze.
What’s in the Pineapple Whip Freeze?
It’s packed with tropical pineapple flavor whipped together with smooth vanilla cream. The drink is made with a pineapple freeze base, a plus pump of vanilla creamer, and finished off with a fruit-inspired green lid. It sounds like it will taste like a sippable pineapple Dole whip or a non-boozy pina colada.
Fans have already started weighing in on the new arrival, and it’s apparently a total hit! It’s a treat we’ll be craving all summer long.
When Is This Tropical Drink Available?
The Pineapple Whip Freeze was released at Taco Bell locations across the country on May 21. Enjoy a regular for $2.39, or size up for $2.59. In need of an afternoon treat? Head to any participating Taco Bell drive-thru during Happier Hour to give one a try for just $1, daily from 2-5 p.m. What are you waiting for?!
Here’s how to safely order from fast-food restaurants right now.
Bonus: There’s a Secret Menu Freeze!
Plus, if you’re embracing the tie-dye trend right now, you can get a Taco Bell Freeze to match. For a limited time, give their new secret menu Freeze a try for a sweet and tangy trifecta of the Pineapple Whip Freeze, Mountain Dew Baja Blast Freeze and Wild Strawberry Freeze. You’ll want to check out other items on the Taco Bell secret menu, too.
