Wendy’s Launches 3 Exclusive Sour Powerade Flavors for Summer

Wendy’s just gave us three brand-new drinks. And guess what? You won’t find them anywhere else right now. If you’re a fan of bold flavors and love a good sports drink, this update is for you.

The fast-food chain teamed up with Coca-Cola to bring exclusive Powerade flavors to their Freestyle machines. These aren’t your regular fruit drinks. They’ve got a serious twist. We’re talking extra sour. Yep, the kind that makes your face scrunch up in the best way.

The flavor lineup

So, what’s hitting the soda fountains?

You’ve got three options:

• Powerade Extra Sour Cherry Kicker
• Powerade Extra Sour Grape Shocker
• Powerade Extra Sour Peach Pucker

Let’s break them down.

The Cherry Kicker has that classic cherry flavor but sharper. It’s got a tangy edge that gives it a punch. It’s not just sweet—it kicks.

Then comes the Grape Shocker. It brings in all the familiar grape goodness but with a twist that makes it pop on your tongue. Sour lovers will probably go back for this one.

Last is Peach Pucker. It might sound gentle, but don’t let that fool you. The peach is sweet and juicy, but it comes with that tart pucker that’ll keep your taste buds on their toes.

Full sugar or sugar-free

One of the best parts? You can get them with sugar or without. If you’re cutting back on sugar but still want flavor, Wendy’s has you covered. And here’s the cool part—the sugar-free versions are staying exclusive to Wendy’s. Even when these flavors hit store shelves later, those sugar-free ones will still only be at your local Wendy’s.

Perfect for summer

These sour sips are arriving at just the right time. It’s hot. You’re sweating. Maybe you’re just out of the gym, or maybe you’re just walking to your car. Either way, these Powerade drinks are made to hydrate and refresh.

You could go for a Frosty (and you probably still will), but these new drinks actually help you recharge. Electrolytes, flavor, and that icy chill—all in one.

A fun excuse to visit

If you needed another reason to swing by Wendy’s, now you’ve got three. These drinks won’t just be a one-time try. They’re bold, fun, and made for summer. Plus, let’s be real—Wendy’s knows how to keep things interesting. From Frosty Fusions to sour sports drinks, they’re not playing it safe. And we’re here for it.
