SONIC Aims to be 'Ultimate Frozen Spot'

OKLAHOMA CITY – With 50 innovative shake and slush flavors, SONIC Drive-In is seeking to be the "Ultimate Frozen Stop" for this summer.

SONIC is bringing its Summer of Shakes back for another year, allowing consumers to enjoy 50 refreshing and colorful flavors of shakes and slushes. All summer long, shakes will be half-price after 8 p.m. and slushes will be half-price during the 2 p.m.-to-4 p.m. Happy Hour at participating locations.

"The wide variety of flavors available during last year's Summer of Shakes was a huge draw for our guests. We, of course, wanted to top our efforts this year by not only introducing new innovative shake options, but by bringing added creativity to our slush offerings, too," said Chef Claes Petersson, vice president of product innovation at SONIC. "Whether you want sweet, sour, salty, spicy or something in between, the Summer of Shakes and Slush Headquarters gives 50 options to choose from to satiate any palate."

New slush flavors include Blue Raspberry made with Nerds and rainbow candies, Super Peach Ring and Polynesian Punch.

In addition, SONIC's vanilla Real Ice Cream serves as the base for 25 hand-mixed shake flavors, such as Chocolate Covered Jalapeño, Lemon Pie and OREO Caramel. Customers can also combine ingredients to create custom shakes beyond the featured flavors.

SONIC, America's Drive-In, is the nation's largest chain of drive-in restaurants with more than 3,500 locations in the United States.
