SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 21, 2013-- Jack in the Box® restaurants are getting into the holiday spirit a little early this year, thanks to a trio of seasonal beverages featuring a flavorful Fall favorite: Pumpkin Spice. For a limited time, Jack in the Box is offering a Pumpkin Spice version of its Real Ice Cream Shake and Hot and Iced Coffees.

“Pumpkins have such a strong nostalgic appeal at this time of year that consumers crave pumpkin flavors, whether they’re eating pie or bread or sipping a beverage,” said Iwona Alter, Vice President of Menu Strategy at Jack in the Box. “This year, we’re adding a bold, flavorful twist to the pumpkin-flavored shake we’ve offered in recent years. We’ve also created two additional Pumpkin Spice drinks for our guests to enjoy during the holidays, with the new flavor representing the first-ever extensions for our Hot and Iced Coffee drinks.”

In addition to the new Pumpkin Spice Shake, Jack in the Box is also adding Egg Nog to its line of Real Ice Cream Shake flavors. As with Jack’s other Real Ice Cream Shakes, the Pumpkin Spice and Egg Nog Shakes are served with whipped topping and a Maraschino cherry on top.

The Shakes and Iced Coffees are available in 16- and 24-oz. sizes; Hot Coffee is available in 12- and 16-oz. sizes.
