Sonic kicks off the colder months with a Winter Menu filled with seasonal favorites, available on the app starting October 28. From the spicy Double Sonic Queso Smasher to the indulgent Red Velvet Cake Batter Shake, Sonic’s latest offerings bring cozy flavors to its lineup.
Sonic Welcomes Winter with Savory Burgers and Sweet Seasonal Sips
With the last leaves of autumn clinging to the trees, Sonic is ushering in the season with its new Winter Menu, available exclusively on the Sonic app starting October 28 and on the regular menu from November 4. The lineup includes a mix of savory and sweet seasonal treats to warm up the cooler days ahead, per Mashed.
Double Sonic Queso Smasher
Leading the savory selections, Sonic’s Double Sonic Queso Smasher features a double smash burger with options for an extra patty. Topped with American cheese, white queso, crispy tortilla strips, jalapeños, diced onions, and a creamy Southwest sauce, this bold burger is designed for those who like a bit of spice with their comfort food.
Sparkling Sugar Cookie Dr Pepper
Sonic’s Sparkling Sugar Cookie Dr Pepper adds a twist to the classic soda with caramel, sweet cream, and sugar cookie syrup, delivering a creamy, nostalgic flavor. Although its color may not be Instagram-ready, resembling a muted brown rather than the dark red of Dr Pepper, it makes up for its looks with taste. The sugar cookie flavor shines through, blending with Dr Pepper’s cherry undertones and transforming it into something close to a holiday cream soda.
Buttery Brew
Built on a root beer base, the Buttery Brew combines caramel syrup and sweet cream, capturing the taste of a root beer float without the ice cream. Its flavor profile is similar to that of the Sparkling Sugar Cookie Dr Pepper but less sweet, with the caramel blending smoothly with the root beer. A quick stir is recommended to keep the flavors balanced, as the syrup can settle, leaving you with a sweet root beer finish.
Red Velvet Cake Batter Shake
The Red Velvet Cake Batter Shake delivers both flavor and presentation for dessert. The rich red shake swirled with cream cheese whipped topping and garnished with bits of cake and crunchy sugar crystals, offers a thick, satisfying sip with a balanced sweetness. The cream cheese whipped topping, dotted with cake chunks, brings an authentic taste of cream cheese frosting without overpowering richness. For an extra treat, try pairing the topping with the shake itself for an indulgent bite.
Sonic’s Winter Menu offers a variety of comforting flavors, from savory spice to indulgent sweets, making it a lineup that’s as cozy as it is exciting for the season.
