To mark the unofficial end of summer, participating Dairy Queens next week will be giving customers a free Ultimate Oreo Frappé.

The giveaway runs from 2 to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 6. The deal is limited to one free drink per customer.

“This is the time of year when everyone gets a fresh start from the classroom to the football field,” said Barry Westrum, executive vice president of Marketing for American Dairy Queen Corporation. “None of us want summer to end, so at DQ we are easing the transition for our fans with a free Frappé Giveaway.”

The Ultimate Oreo Frappé is a combination of coffee, ice and Oreo cookie pieces blended with creamy DQ signature vanilla soft serve and crowned with whipped topping and Oreo cookie pieces, the company said.
