SONIC Drive-In is the real deal when it comes to shakes; each one is hand-mixed with SONIC’s Real Ice Cream and available in a variety of flavors beyond old favorites like chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. This summer, SONIC is offering 25 different shake flavors to choose from as part of the Summer of Shakes, giving adventurous guests options they never knew possible. New flavors include the Peanut Butter & Bacon Shake, the Cherry Cheesecake Shake, the Coconut Cream Pie Shake and other classic and creative options. To sweeten the deal even more, SONIC shakes are half price after 8 p.m. all summer long.

“Our Real Ice Cream is what makes our shakes special – that, and the fact that we have an incredible variety to choose from,” said SONIC Chef Claes Petersson, vice president of product innovation. “Our Real Ice Cream is made with fresh milk and cream, and has a smoothness and rich vanilla flavor unlike the soft serves you get from others. The difference in taste and texture gives our shakes a premium base for us to layer on different ingredients, resulting in the 25 different flavors. There’s a reason the other guys don’t mention Real Ice Cream – there is simply no comparison.”
