US restaurant brand SONIC Drive-In has announced the launch of its new winter menu 2024, offering a range of savoury and festive flavours.  

From 4 November, customers can enjoy options including the SONIC Queso Smasher and seasonal beverages. 

Exclusive early access is available through the SONIC app from 28 October. 

The winter menu features the Double SONIC Queso Smasher, a premium cheeseburger that combines two smashed Angus patties with American cheese, white queso, crispy tortilla strips, jalapenos, onions and Southwest sauce on a soft potato bun.  

A Triple SONIC Queso Smasher is also on offer. 

SONIC's Flavorista Favorites drink line receives a holiday update with Buttery Brew, which mixes root beer with buttery caramel and sweet cream for a smooth taste.  

Another addition is the Sparkling Sugar Cookie Dr Pepper, blending its fizz with caramel and sugar cookie flavours topped with sweet cream. 

For dessert lovers, the Red Velvet Cake Batter Shake brings together vanilla softserve with red velvet cake batter, finished with cream cheese whipped topping and a cherry.  

SONIC culinary and menu innovation vice-president Mackenzie Gibson said: "Winter is the season for indulgence, where memorable flavours bring us together with family and friends, creating moments that are as comforting as they are delicious. 

"This winter menu offers just that – from the warm, melty cheese and kick of spice on our new SONIC Queso Smasher to the innovative, festive drink creations we’ve added to our Flavorista Favorites lineup." 

The brand demonstrates its commitment to social responsibility by donating a portion of proceeds from every drink, slush or shake to support public education via its Limeades for Learning initiative.  

Since 2009, the SONIC Foundation has contributed more than $28m to fund educational projects in local communities. 

In September 2024, SONIC Drive-In added a Halloween twist to its 2024 autumn menu with the introduction of the Witch’s Brew Slush Float in the US market.
