Pepsi launches two new summer flavors

Who says it’s too early to talk about summer? Pepsi is ready to dive straight into the season with the introduction of its two new seasonal flavors: lime and peach.

Pepsi teamed up with celebrity chef Bobby Flay to promote the new limited-edition Pepsi and peach Pepsi products as the perfect soft drink pairing with everyone’s favorite summer meal: barbecue!

“Whether you’re enjoying fall-off-the-bone ribs, juicy burgers or perfectly smoked brisket, Pepsi makes every bite pop for a truly memorable meal,” Flay said in a press release introducing the new Pepsi products.

After replacing Sierra Mist with a new lemon-lime soft drink, Starry, last year, Pepsi said it chose to add lime and peach to its product line because both have a “sweet, refreshing taste” that works well with the typical American cooking.

“The zesty citrus bite of a lime and the soft sweetness of a ripe peach are popular and nostalgic flavor profiles for summer,” the company said in the press release.

Both the lime and peach Pepsi drinks will be available nationwide in 12-ounce cans or 20-ounce bottles.

Pepsi has not announced a specific release date for its new flavors; the company only said they would be available “soon.” However, you can visit the online Pepsi product locator in the coming days and weeks to see where you can find them.

To kick off the summer grilling and Pepsi season, the beverage company is hosting a raffle and cash back giveaway for its customers.
