Sonic Drive-In is debuting an orange cloudsicle slush float and a cheesy bacon stack cheeseburger for the summer.

The orange cloudsicle slush float is a blend of orange cloudsicle-flavored slush and orange vanilla flavor bubbles, topped with a creamy soft serve. It will be available for a limited time. The cheesy bacon stack cheeseburger features a seasoned beef patty, topped with bacon, two slices of American cheese, crinkle-cut pickles, diced onions, ketchup, mayo and served on Texas toast.

“Knowing orange cream would be a major trending flavor for summer treats this year, we were inspired to create the perfectly sweet and tangy orange cloudsicle slush float for our fans,” said Mackenzie Gibson, vice president of culinary and menu innovation at Sonic. “For guests who are looking for something heartier to fuel their summer adventures, the cheesy bacon Sonic stack is a craveable, unique addition to our cheeseburger selection that’s packed with flavor.”

"We know corn has always been a delicious complement to our food, and we are excited to take it up a notch with our latest menu addition. This warm, creamy option differentiates the Qdoba brand in the marketplace, and we expect it to become a guest favorite.”
