ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, SONIC is taking its SONIC® Refreshers to the next level with the launch of SONIC® Frozen Refreshers – a new lineup that transforms the juicy, real fruit flavors of SONIC Refreshers into an icy treat made for summertime sipping. Available for a limited time at participating SONIC locations nationwide, SONIC Frozen Refreshers offer a bold, cool and crave-worthy twist from the brand that knows frozen drinks best.

Four Frozen Flavors to Sip the Season

The Frozen Refresher lineup features frozen versions of the brand’s three existing flavors of SONIC Refreshers – Mango Peach, Strawberry Passion Fruit and Berry Citrus – alongside a new seasonal standout: Watermelon Peach. The limited-time Watermelon Peach Refresher blends two bold summer fruits into a cool, energizing escape, available in frozen, still or sparkling varieties. All four Frozen Refresher flavors are crafted to satisfy a sweet craving while keeping things light and refreshing with real fruit and green tea*:

• Watermelon Peach Frozen Refresher: A bold blend of watermelon and peach purees, paired with a natural caffeine boost from green tea, frozen into an icy Refresher
• Mango Peach Frozen Refresher: A bright fusion of mango and peach purees, paired with a natural caffeine boost from green tea, frozen into an icy Refresher
• Strawberry Passion Fruit Frozen Refresher: A delicious mix of real strawberries and passion fruit puree, paired with a natural caffeine boost from green tea, frozen into an icy Refresher
• Berry Citrus Frozen Refresher: A juicy blend of wildberry and blueberry purees with a squeeze of real lemon, paired with a natural caffeine boost from green tea, frozen into an icy Refresher

“Guests know and love SONIC for our frozen drinks, and we’re always finding new ways to push the category forward,” said Barbara Williams, Vice President of Culinary Innovation & Category Management at SONIC. “No one does frozen drinks like SONIC, and Frozen Refreshers build on our signature Slush expertise and pair it with vibrant real fruit flavors, including our new seasonal Watermelon Peach, to deliver a Refresher experience only we can offer. It’s our take on an emerging trend, reimagined the SONIC way, and unlike anything else in the category.”

To help introduce Frozen Refreshers, SONIC is continuing its “Sip to That™” brand campaign by teaming up with reality TV star favorites Ciara Miller and Ariana Madix, who bring it to life in a series of social and TV spots that capture the energy between two friends and the confidence that comes from sharing life’s little wins.

“SONIC was such a big part of my childhood growing up in Georgia, and it was always a place my mom and I loved,” said Ciara Miller. “Partnering with the brand to launch SONIC Frozen Refreshers really feels like a dream. Every flavor is delicious, but Mango Peach has my heart – I’m a Georgia peach forever.”

“I’ve been fully in my frozen-drink era lately, and SONIC has always been the go-to,” said Ariana Madix. “I used to stop by SONIC just for the drinks back in high school, so getting to partner on SONIC Frozen Refreshers feels full circle. And honestly, if you’re not walking out of SONIC with a full carrier of drinks...you’re doing it wrong.”
