It’s been extremely hazy, hot and humid here on the east coast for the past few weeks and at times, it’s completely miserable to be outside. When my family needs to cool down and when they want an icy-cold treat, we head to our local Dairy Queen®.
Recently we had the opportunity to try out several icy-cold treats and cold beverages from the Dairy Queen® and I’m excited to talk to you today about them.
Just recently Dairy Queen® jumped into the coffee business and started offering several iced coffee varieties. They started offering DQ® fans the choice of a new Vanilla, Salted Caramel or Mocha flavored Iced Coffee; new OREO®, Caramel Chip or Midnight Mocha DQ Ultimate Frappés; and Strawberry Banana, Tripleberry®, Mango Pineapple and the new Strawberry Watermelon Orange Julius®Premium Fruit Smoothies at one of the best values in the industry.
My husband had the opportunity to try out the Salted Caramel Iced Coffee and absolutely loved it! He said it was one of the best iced coffees that he’s had in a long time and said that it was brewed and chilled to perfection.
My daughter Jenelle had the opportunity to try out the DQ® Strawberry Banana fruit smoothie and loved it! She said it had the perfect blend of strawberries and bananas in it. Sometimes bananas can be over-powering in fruit smoothies, but she said this one was blended perfectly.
My 7 year old granddaughter absolutely LOVES getting those Dairy Queen® Blizzards, so that is exactly what she ordered. She likes to experiment and will often order different flavors to try out, but she always comes back to her ultimate favorite which is the Royal New York Cheesecake Blizzard.
I had the opportunity to try out the new Mango Pineapple Fruit Smoothie and it was pure heaven in a cup! Seriously, it was delicious! When we were down in the tropics for vacation last year, I was drinking Mango Pineapple Smoothies almost every day. I can honestly tell you that this fruit smoothie tasted just as good, if not better. It’s nice to know that I don’t have to run down to the Caribbean every time I want one. Nope, I can run to my local DQ® to get it. YUMMY!
You can visit Dairy Queen® online to find a location near you or to find a location to wherever you may be traveling to this summer. While you’re there, check out all of the delicious foods, treats, beverages and cakes that they have to offer. What a great way to cool off from this summer heat!

I have to find a Dairy Queen near me. It has been so hot here and I want to try these new drinks, both the coffees and the smoothies.
The nearest Dairy Queen is about an hour from here, and they’re only open during the warm months. I don’t even remember the last time I was there, but now that you’ve got me thinking about it, I really should make a point of stopping the next time I head out that way. I love their ice cream, but your Mango Pineapple Fruit Smoothie sounds right up my alley. Thanks for this reminder.
We have a Dairy Queen within a mile and sometimes we will even walk there with grandkids and enjoy a treat. It is one of our favorites and they often have some nice specials and coupons for great savings.
Oh, I miss Dairy Queen! We don’t have one in our current town, but as a kid I loved the cherry-dipped ice cream cone!
Looks like I need to take a trip to DQ
Whoops meant to type Dairy Queen above got going too fast and hit post comment. Have a nice day.
I had no idea that Diary Queen was selling iced coffees now I gotta check it out. I have also been craving ice cream lately. It has been super hot here.
