What are Custard Cream Sodas? A Look at Freddy's New Summer Drinks
Amidst the excitement of the Summer Custard Tour, Freddy’s has also just launched a new collection of premium drinks – the Freddy’s Bevies! In addition to three fruit flavors to elevate your iced tea or lemonade, five different Custard Cream Sodas are now available at the Freddy’s near you. Learn more about these recent arrivals and other summer beverages below!
What is a Custard Cream Soda?
Freddy’s Custard Cream Sodas are our take on the popular “dirty soda.” As explained at Eater, TikTok helped expand the love for dirty sodas in recent years, but this beverage originated over a decade ago in Utah. What are the basic components of a dirty soda? These drinks typically include a choice of soda and a creamy element, and are further flavored with various syrups and other additions. At Freddy’s, the 5 new Custard Cream Sodas in the Freddy’s Bevies collection use either Starry® or Dr Pepper®, include various syrups or add-ins, and are topped with Freddy’s vanilla custard cream.
How does a Custard Cream Soda differ from other frozen custard drinks?
In these new Freddy’s Bevies, custard cream serves as a topping. An easy way to distinguish the Custard Cream Soda from other sippable frozen custard drinks is to compare the Coco Loco Custard Cream Soda with the Dr Pepper® Frost. In the Coco Loco Custard Cream Soda, Dr Pepper® is the soda of choice, blended with coconut and topped with Freddy’s custard cream. While the Dr Pepper® Frost features the same soda, it is blended with vanilla frozen custard. Consequently, these drinks not only differ in final flavor but also in thickness. Therefore, one of the new Custard Cream Sodas may especially appeal to guests looking for a premium beverage that’s refreshing, a little creamy and also a bit lighter than some of the other frozen custard drinks.
What are the flavors of these new Freddy’s drinks?
In addition to the Coco Loco, there are four other Custard Cream Soda flavors available, which all feature the lemon and lime flavor of Starry® and are topped with Freddy’s custard cream. Three of these sodas come in bright, sunny shades, due in part to the candied orange in the Golden Hour Orange, the peach in the Peach Peach Baby, and the mango in the Mango Magic. The fifth and final selection of these Freddy’s Bevies is the Blue Rizzberry. In this new drink at Freddy’s, blue raspberry syrup helps contribute to the vibrant color and delicious taste!
Other Tasty Summer Beverages and Treats to Try at Freddy’s
The Custard Cream Sodas in the Freddy’s Bevies collection mean guests have 5 new drinks to enjoy at their local Freddy’s. While these new drinks at Freddy’s may be some of the more recent summer beverages to arrive, they aren’t the only sippable selections that are perfect for this season. From teas and lemonades to frozen custard drinks, here are 3 more suggestions to try at Freddy’s:
1. Strawberry Sunset Tea: Besides the new Custard Cream Sodas, the Freddy’s Bevies lineup also includes three different flavors of iced tea and lemonade. For example, the Strawberry Sunset Tea is freshly brewed iced tea blended with strawberries. Want a slightly sweeter and fruitier refreshment? Try a Strawberry Sunset Lemonade, which is made with strawberry and Tropicana® lemonade. Both iced tea and lemonade drinks are also available in peach or mango flavor.
2. Root Beer Float: Our new Custard Cream Sodas may embrace current popular trends, but you’ll also find classic summer beverages on the Freddy’s menu. The MUG® Root Beer Float is one of these long-standing favorites! Enjoy it on its own or as part of a combo meal, such as the Freddy’s Original Bacon and Cheese Double Combo.
3. Chocolate Brownie Delight: Beverages with fruit can be refreshing, but sometimes you may crave a more indulgent frozen custard drink. Celebrated menu items like the Chocolate Brownie Delight, for example, are available as shakes, as well as sundaes and concretes. You can also create your own frozen custard drink like a shake or a malt!
