OKLAHOMA CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SONIC® Drive-In is the Ultimate Drink Stop® with thousands of unique drink options, and SONIC is now bringing fans a new sippable way to add a fizzy boost to their day with the introduction of SONIC® Rechargers with Red Bull®.* The refreshing new drinks come in three fruity flavors and are available now at SONIC locations nationwide.

The first new beverage platform to be added to the SONIC menu since 2019, SONIC Rechargers with Red Bull offer an invigorating way to perk up a midday slump or fuel a fun-packed weekend. The SONIC Rechargers lineup features three fizzy, craveable flavors – sweet Dragon Fruit, bold Blood Orange and refreshing Twisted Lime – all combined with the energy of Red Bull® and poured over the iconic SONIC nugget ice.
