A trio of new sour drinks are exclusively heading to Wendy's for a limited time.

A little over a year after the first three pucker-worthy Powerade Xtra Sour flavors dropped, the popular sports drink is back with three even more "extreme" flavors: Powerade Xtra Sour Cherry Kicker, Grape Shocker and Peach Pucker.

According to an official description, its Cherry Kicker is "bold and vibrant" and was inspired by ripe cherries that pack a "tart punch" with "sweet undertones." Its Grape Shocker offers an "intense and juicy" grape flavor made one-of-a-kind by its "extreme sour twist." And finally, the Powerade Xtra Sour Peach Pucker is said to be "crisp and tangy" with a "mouthwatering burst of SOUR!"

Along with the regular full-sugar flavors, a sugar-free version of the tangy beverage will also be available–but they'll all only be pouring from the Coca-Cola Freestyle Machines at Wendy's, at least for now.

Parade is told that Powerade's summer 2025 edition of its Xtra Sour series will hit retailers nationwide sometime in July and will still stick around in Wendy's Coca-Cola Freestyle Machines for a limited time thereafter.

The beloved burger joint "dares" fans to try them all before they're gone (or, more practically, before they hit shelves so you know which flavors are worth stocking up on).
