- McDonald's, which starts the U.S. rollout Tuesday, will add three lemonade‑based Refreshers and three crafted sodas to participating menus.
- Flavors include Strawberry Watermelon, Mango Pineapple, and Blackberry Passion Fruit Refreshers, plus Sprite Berry Blast, Orange Dream, and Dirty Dr Pepper.
- A limited Susan Alexandra line of six hand‑beaded drink carriers goes on sale Tuesday only on SusanAlexandra.com, and each includes a $10 McDonald’s Arch Card.
- Reported prices for the carriers range from $42 to $58 per The Street, while Yanko Design lists $48 to $58, and quantities are limited.
- McDonald's frames beverages as a growth driver, pointing to 2025 drink tests and new restaurant teams that prepare locations to execute a larger, higher‑margin drink lineup.
