SONIC Tests New Cold Coffee Lineup in Select Markets
SONIC Drive-In is expanding its beverage offerings with a new cold coffee lineup now being tested at participating locations in six select markets across the United States. The limited-time rollout brings four distinct cold coffee beverages designed to provide guests with refreshing caffeine options throughout the day.
Available Markets and Locations
The new SONIC Cold Coffee lineup is currently available exclusively in Denver, CO; Grand Junction, CO; Joplin, MO; Las Vegas, NV; New York, NY; and Monroe, LA. Guests can verify availability at their local SONIC location through the SONIC App before visiting. The test market approach allows the brand to gather customer feedback before potentially expanding the offerings nationwide.
Four Cold Coffee Options with Customization
SONIC’s new cold coffee menu features four beverages, each available in 16-ounce and 20-ounce sizes starting at $2.49. All drinks can be customized with flavor add-ons including Caramel, Vanilla, or OREO cookie pieces, giving guests multiple ways to personalize their coffee experience.
The Iced Coffee delivers a smooth, sweetened brew poured over SONIC’s signature ice for a consistently bold and refreshing caffeine boost. The Cold Foam Iced Coffee adds a light, creamy layer to the classic iced coffee base, creating a balanced sweetness with each sip.
For guests seeking a creamier option, the Iced Coffee Latte combines bold coffee with smooth dairy for a well-rounded flavor profile. The Coffee Chiller blends creamy soft serve with bold coffee to create a dessert-style beverage that functions as both an indulgent treat and an energizing drink.
Pricing and Availability Details
With pricing starting at $2.49 for the 16-ounce size, SONIC’s cold coffee lineup positions itself competitively within the quick-service coffee segment. The 20-ounce option provides additional value for guests seeking larger portions. All beverages are available for a limited time during the test period, with no announced end date for the market trial.
Building on SONIC’s Beverage Heritage
The cold coffee expansion reinforces SONIC’s reputation for innovative beverage offerings. The drive-in chain has built its brand identity around customizable drinks, from its extensive slush and shake menu to its flavored iced teas and lemonades. Adding a dedicated cold coffee lineup allows SONIC to compete more directly in the growing cold coffee category while maintaining its signature approach to beverage customization.
