Slushies and frozen beverages are some of the best cooling treats during the summer. Their icy texture and refreshing flavors provide instant relief from the heat, making them popular among kids and adults. Recognizing this, KFC is testing new frozen slush drinks at select Lexington and Central Kentucky outlets.

KFC adds to fans’ must-try beverages this summer with three test flavors: MTN Dew Sweet Lightning, Blue Raspberry, and Blackberry Lemonade. Here’s a closer look at what each offers:

  • Frozen MTN Dew Sweet Lightning: This slushie features the taste of sweet peaches with hints of honey.
  • Frozen Blue Raspberry: A classic flavor that turns your tongue blue, offering the tart and sweet blue raspberry taste loved by many.
  • Frozen Blackberry Lemonade: Combines blackberries' tart and sweet taste with tangy lemonade in a cooling, icy form.

The brand hasn’t specified if these drinks will be available for a limited time, so those near the test locations should check directly with the outlet.

  • Starry Lemon Lime: A crisp lemon-lime soda enhanced with tropical passionfruit notes, creating a sparkling, cooling beverage.

KFC Tests New Menu Items: Chicken Quesadilla, New Chicken Tenders, and Frozen Slushies

KFC has been conducting several market tests with promising results, including:

  • The Chicken Quesadilla: KFC’s take on a Mexican classic featuring shredded fried chicken, signature gravy, and a melty cheese blend. Although some outlets have announced that these quesadillas may soon be discontinued, they are currently available in New Jersey, Connecticut, Tennessee, and New York.
  • The New Chicken Tenders: Tested since October 2023, these tenders have received positive reviews. Featuring a zesty and peppery comeback sauce, they are battered and seasoned with Colonel Sanders' secret herbs and spices, then pressure-fried for a crispy exterior. There is speculation that these might replace KFC’s current crispy tenders, with recent tests conducted in West Palm Beach, Florida.

According to Fast Food Club, the availability of the new Frozen Slushies this summer is uncertain, so those in the Lexington or Central Kentucky area should try these icy treats soon.
