For the last 15 years, McAlister’s Deli has celebrated their own holiday on the third Thursday of July, Free Tea Day. In 2023, McAlister’s Free Tea Day was on July 20, 2023. You’ll be able to pick up a free cup of their sweet tea at all their participating locations. And you don’t even need to be a member of their rewards program! It’s one of the easiest freebies we’ve come across, particularly if you live close to a McAlister’s.
In 2024, we expect McAlister’s Free Tea Day to be on July 18, 2024. We’ll be updating our article with the most relevant information when it releases.
We’ll let you know how to find out how you can get this deal and a way to get up to four free teas on your order.

Get a free 32-ounce tea for visiting a McAlister’s on July 20, 2023 — no rewards account required.

You could have gotten your free tea in person or ordering online (we’ll get to the latter in just a second). To get your free tea from McAlister’s in person, all you has to do is visit a location on July 20, 2023. Then, let them know that you are there for your tea freebies. You would get a 32-ounce cup of sweet tea (regularly $2.15) added to your order for no charge, no McAlister’s Rewards account was required.
You would even have the option to modify your order to your tastes by adding a lemon slice or a shot of peach, strawberry, or black cherry puree. Here were the teas that could have gotten for free:
- Sweet Tea
- Unsweet Tea
- Half Sweet & Half Unsweet Tea
- Half Lemonade & Half Sweet Tea
- Half Lemonade & Half Unsweet Tea
- Passionberry Tea
