AriZona Just Dropped a 6-Pack of Rare Drinks You Probably Never Saw in Stores

Since I have a silly internet job where getting new AriZona drinks as early as possible is a genuine priority, I actually pay $99 a year in membership fees to “Club ‘Zona” for early access to new drinks. If you’re a normal person with normal priorities, that’s probably a little much. Luckily, AriZona just launched a 6-pack of rare flavors released throughout this year that you may not have gotten your hands on.

The Sporked team has reviewed every single drink in this exclusive 6-pack, so I’ll be summarizing what we thought of them and why you may not have seen them in stores.

Spicy Mucho Mango and Watermelon Juice Cocktails with Mike’s Hot Honey

Our own Justine Sterling had mixed opinions on the trio of Mike’s Hot Honey drinks. (The Spicy Green Tea is not included in this 6-pack, likely since it was the most widely available; Spicy Mucho Mango was only available at Sheetz, while Spicy Watermelon was only available through gopuff.)

For what it’s worth, while Justine thought the Spicy Watermelon was the worst of the three, I thought it was the best. I could chalk that up to nostalgia, though; KFC’s concept restaurant Saucy released a hot honey watermelon refresher last year that I absolutely loved.

Whipped Pineapple Orange Juice Cocktail

Attention, fellow Disney adults: AriZona has turned Pineapple Dole Whip into a drink, and it’s perfect. The 7-Eleven exclusive Whipped Pineapple Orange Juice Cocktail earned a 9 out of 10 from yours truly for being the perfect sugary treat to take your mouth to Disney on a budget.

Chocolate Egg Cream Soda

Despite the initial “ick” upon hearing about a sparkling chocolate syrup soda made with real dairy, this drink pleasantly surprised me. This NYC-inspired drink was released exclusively on AriZona’s webstore to support the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. In my review, I pointed out that I’d prefer the option to order just a single can of this drink (originally, you could only buy it in 12-can packs)—shoutout to AriZona for taking that note personally.

AriZZona Rizzler Berry Sparkling Juice Cocktail

As I covered in my initial review, this drink started as an April Fools Day joke from AriZona and the pre-teen social media superstar The Rizzler. When I actually got my hands on a real can (only available in select retailers and online), I was… whelmed, to say the least. This is an amalgamation of fruits that ends up tasting generic. That said, is anyone actually buying Rizzler Berry for the flavor?

Here’s the update everyone’s been waiting for following that review’s publication: Yes, I did get my autographed Rizzler headshot in the mail. Shockingly, my girlfriend has barred me from displaying it anywhere but my office.

Apple Lime Rickey

Lastly, we have the other 7-Eleven exclusive drink released by AriZona this year. This sequel to 2012’s Cherry Lime Rickey was released a few months ago to a good-enough 7 out of 10 from me.
