"The original Iced Capp is an essential summer drink like no other. Its indulgent taste beats the heat and cools you down - and now, it comes with a chance to win cash prizes," said Mike Meilleur, executive vice president, Tim Hortons U.S. "What better way to usher in summer?"

The Iced Capp summer celebration doesn't end there. Tim Hortons Cafe & Bake Shop's Coffee Cruisers will soon be on the road again kicking-off the summer by providing free, full-size servings of Iced Capp at community events, area businesses and summer outings. New in 2013, Tim Hortons Cafe & Bake Shop is launching its "Tims Time Off" tour. The new program sends the Coffee Cruisers to area businesses surprising employees with a mid-day break to go outside and enjoy summer. Professionals will be treated to free Iced Capps, the opportunity to play games with co-workers and score cool, summer-themed giveaways.

"Iced Capps are a dessert-like summer treat that just make you feel good," Meilleur added. "We want to give busy professionals the opportunity to experience that simple pleasure in the middle of a workday."

Tim Hortons Cafe & Bake Shop introduced the Iced Capp to its menu in 1999 and the frozen beverage has been much loved by guests ever since.
