This sounds delicious!

Taco Bell's New Pineapple Whip Freeze Will Have You Racing To The Drive-Thru This Summer

There is no better feeling than getting a super-cold frozen drink on a super hot day and if that frozen drink is PINEAPPLE-flavored and can be ordered alongside a Flamin Hot Doritos Locos Taco, well, consider me pulling up to the drive-thru!

Taco Bell announced that starting May 21, you can pick up a new drink called the Pineapple Whip Freeze and it sounds so good it will truly blow your mind. According to the chain, it's inspired by the flavors of a pineapple whipped together with a sweet vanilla cream flavor and it is topped with a green lid to look like the leaves on a pineapple. So basically, the whole drink tastes like a creamsicle but with pineapple. YUM.

In case you're wondering, the drink is available in a regular size for $2.39 or a large for $2.59 AND you can head over to any participating Taco Bell drive-thru during Happier Hour to get it for just $1, daily from 2-5 p.m. Maybe you drive to your local Taco Bell, get one of these bad boys, and MAYBE you bring it home and spike it with tequila from your bar cart. I dunno, just, like, a crazy thought I just had!

Taco Bell also tipped us off that right now you can get a secret menu Tie-Dye freeze and ask for a mixture of Taco Bell's new Pineapple Whip Freeze, Mtn Dew Baja Blast Freeze, and Wild Strawberry Freeze Did it just get colder in here because that sounds AMAZING. See you (from a responsible distance!) at the drive-thru!

Launched today at Starbucks

Starbucks’ latest menu addition is the pink drink to end all pink drinks.

Taking inspiration from its very successful iced coconut milk duo first released in March, Starbucks is now introducing the Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink.

This summer’s Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink has a coconut milk base and is flavored with guava, passionfruit, pineapple, and ginger, making for a dreamy baby pink beverage to sip on while you tan on your roof. Available starting today, May 21, along with the return of the cult-favorite S'mores Frappuccino

@Chi-town girl You should not have posted that picture, I want one now. I can just taste it.

@Chi-town girl Had to try the pineapple drink last night. Very sugary and artificial tasting. Sorry, I wanted to like it but didn't. I will save the calories for that peach shake. That's my report.

@panda1234 - we aldo did a Taco Bell run yesterday. I tried the Pineapple Freeze as well as the tie dye freeze - a mixture of the new Pineapple Whip Freeze, Mountain Dew Baja Blast Freeze, and Wild Strawberry Freeze. Not only do you get a swirl of colors, but you get a mix of fruity flavors.

I like them! But don't make me choose, lol. I am also excited for the return of the Peach Milkshake!!! Will also try the new Starbucks Guava drink soon

If you permit me, I can add a recipie for a Greek iced coffee, we drink it on summer

2 teaspoons instant coffee (Nescafe, it is also availbale here in US)

2 teaspons of sugar ( it depends of your taste, add more or less)

2/3 cup of water

2 tablespoon of milk

Place the coffee, sugar, and 2 tablespoons cold water in a shaker, jar, blender, or drink mixer. Cover and shake well for about 30 seconds, or, if using a blender, drink mixer, or handheld frother, mix for 15 seconds until you have a thick foam.

Now, toss a few ice cubes in a tall glass. Slowly pour the foamy coffee mixture into the glass. Fill the glass with water, adding the milk if desired. Serve the frappe immediately.

@Dinaki That is my kind of summer drink/treat.

I have made Tasters Choice Instant coffee (with hot water) in a large pitcher and refrigerated it. I serve it in a tall glass filled about half way, then mix in a "healthy" (just kidding) serving of Baileys Mocha Mudslice coffee creamer then add ice. It's a trifecta for me. Satisfies my cravings for coffee, sugar and chocolate.
