Now just in time for spring, the watermelon mint flavor is returning and fans are thrilled.

Three other flavors are also being introduced: watermelon mint sunjoy, watermelon mint frosted lemonade and a watermelon mint iced tea.

Director of menu and packaging at Chick-fil-A, Leslie Neslage, said: “Seasonal variations of our signature beverages continue to gain popularity with our customers.

“Guests loved the Watermelon Mint Lemonade in 2017, so we are thrilled to bring it back to our menu and introduce new ways for guests to enjoy this flavor.”

The flavors sound incredible for anyone looking for a refreshing twist on traditional lemonade.

The watermelon mint iced tea is a fresh, sweet option for anyone looking for a spring time flavor.

It comes only weeks after the fast food giant announced it was adding a brand new sandwich to it’s menu.

The new sandwich will be available at select locations -and the main ingredient is cauliflower, not chicken.

“The Chick-fil-A Cauliflower Sandwich will make its debut for a limited time starting Monday, February 13, in three markets: Denver, Colo., Charleston, SC, and North Carolina’s Greensboro-Triad region,” according to Chick-fil -A.

As to how the new sandwich fares in the limited release will determine whether it becomes a permanent part of the menu and is offered nationally.

Fans of the restaurant had been calling for more plant-based options, according to Leslie Neslage, director of menu and packaging at Chick-fil-A.

“Guests told us they wanted to add more vegetables into their diets, and they wanted a plant-forward entrée that tasted uniquely Chick-fil-A,” Neslage said.

Chick-Fil-A also conducted taste tests, confirming that customers also liked Cauliflower in their sandwich.

“We created several different iterations and conducted taste tests and once we saw the excited smiles of the taste testers from our team and various focus groups and heard the positive reviews, we knew we had found the right centerpiece for the sandwich,” he continued.

Chick-fil-A has yet to give a timetable on when the Cauliflower Sandwich may be released in more markets.
