Sprite reportedly launching Arnold Palmer style tea that went viral on TikTok

It’s said that Sprite is planning to release a beverage similar to the popular Arnold Palmer drink, following its popularity on various social media platforms.

Ever since it debuted in 2016, TikTok has become a breeding ground for numerous viral sensations, particularly those centered around users experimenting with their preferred beverages to come up with something innovative.

As a passionate enthusiast, I’ve been captivated by two viral sensations that have recently taken the internet by storm! The first involves filling a glass with a luscious layer of marshmallow fluff, followed by the delightful addition of Coke. The second recipe is equally intriguing: it combines Coke with your preferred protein shake, creating a unique blend that’s sure to tantalize taste buds!

In 2023, there was a trend on TikTok where people posted videos of them combining Lipton Iced Tea with Sprite to make a drink that tasted like an Arnold Palmer (which is typically made with lemonade and iced tea). This became very popular on the platform.

It appears that the well-known soda company, renowned for its lemon-lime drink, has noticed this trend and is planning to make the “Sprite + Tea” version available at retail stores.

At the start of January, Instagram user candyhunting shared an image showcasing the design of both bottled and canned beverages.

They described the taste as a “fresh fusion of Sprite’s signature lemon-lime zing and cool tea undertones,” and then shared that this new flavor would hit the shelves in Spring 2025.

The new flavor will also come in regular and sugar-free versions, making it enjoyable for those consciously managing their diets.

Enthusiasts rushed to comment sections to voice their opinions on the launch, expressing great anticipation for the long-awaited collaboration of flavors.

At last, they unite as I’ve blended them in restaurants for ages, according to one user.

Another said: “I’d like to try the Zero Sugar version of that. It’d be like a Fizzy Arnold Palmer.”

It looks like they’re jumping on the TikTok bandwagon. I wonder if McDonald’s will start serving Cotton Candy Sprite next?” said a third.

Sprite hasn’t just introduced a fresh drink flavor recently; they actually reintroduced the Aruba Jam Sprite Remix last year, but it was exclusively sold at Wendy’s fast food outlets in May 2024.
