The Most Refreshing Day of the Summer Is Here!
Thirsty for McAlister’s Big Tea?
What does the third Thursday in July mean? It’s Free Tea Day at McAlister’s, of course. While people love that free beverage, it is more than just a promotion for the popular restaurant brand. It is a celebration of Southern hospitality.
This year marks the 17th celebration of Free Tea Day. According to the restaurant brand, the company serves more than 200,000 beverages during this promotion. From sweet tea to flavored varieties, people know that nothing is more refreshing on a hot summer day.
Here’s the Free Tea Day Deal terms:
Offer applies to Sweet Tea, Unsweet Tea, Sweet Tea/Unsweet Tea, Tea/Lemonade, Flavored Teas, and one Flavor Shot per Tea.
Limit 1 tea per person in-store.
Limit 4 teas per order via the McAlister’s Deli website or app.
Valid only on 7/17/25 at participating locations.
No purchase necessary
While there are over six million ounces of fresh tea brewed, guests appreciate that the iconic beverage is a way to connect people. A key component of McAlister’s core values is hospitality. With that cold tea in hand, who doesn’t want to sit a spell and just sip.
Additionally, that signature tea invites a little personality in the glass. People can create their signature flavor. While I found the perfect blend during a visit to the company’s test kitchen, it does not require an insider pass to master the brewed perfect.
As people know, McAlister’s Deli has a wide array of flavors that can be added to any tea. It is more than just that bright lemon which makes the sweet tea pop. Options like black cherry, peach, or even strawberry are all option. Plus, there are some limited time, seasonal choices, too.
Personally, I love a little black cherry with lemon. It isn’t quite that cherry limeade drink that grandma made, but that sweet and tart is perfect with one of those loaded baked potatoes.
Lastly, there is a reason that no one thinks about when sipping that McAlister’s Deli tea. It is about the ice. That clear ice is essential to its crisp, refreshing flavor. Spirits and cocktail lovers know that ice makes or breaks a beverage.
The restaurant’s signature ice ensures even melting, enhances the flavor and otherwise ensures the perfect sip every time. Unlike some other quick service restaurants, do not ask for lite ice.
Your beverage is waiting today. Don’t missing McAlister’s Deli Free Tea Day.
