Sonic ‘Tops' Its Summer Menu With 3 Sweet New Drink Offers
Sonic Drive-In's latest summer menu update is like the cherry on top of a sundae.
On Tuesday, just about a week after the chain debuted its all-new Cheesy Garlic Pepperoni Bites and confirmed it would be bringing back two of its most "frequently requested" seasonal items (its Watermelon and Lemonberry Slushies), Sonic unveiled another menu innovation: Sweet Topped Lemonades.
The drink menu newcomer is said to be available in three flavors, all of which feature a base of "all-natural lemonade" that's topped off with a "layer of velvety cold foam."

According to a spokesperson for the brand, Sonic's Sweet Topped Lemonades will be offered in three flavors, at least to start, including Classic, Strawberry and Blueberry Lavender Lemonade.
The Classic Sweet Topped Lemonade is described as a "tart all-natural lemonade" that's been dressed up with a "velvety sweet cold foam." Its Strawberry Lemonade variety takes that same lemonade base and adds "real fruit Strawberries" for an even summery version of the new bev. While the Blueberry Lavender version mixes the tart lemonade with a "Blueberry Lavender flavor" for those feeling a little more experimental.
Sonic's new twist on its lemonade doesn't just expand its menu but helps students grow; as the company said, "each lemonade purchased helps fund local classrooms through SONIC's Limeades for Learning initiative," which helps support public education programs, schools, classrooms and teachers here in the U.S.
Not only that, but the beloved drive-in is also teaming up with First Book, which provides books and other learning resources to children in need, to distribute some "100,000 books to students in need."
To really drive home the initiative, Sonic has also partnered with three bestselling authors to help "bring the sips + summer reads combo to life," including Say You'll Remember Me author Abby Jimenez, Sounds Like Love writer Ashley Poston and The Paradise Problem author Christina Lauren.
"This partnership isn't just about the ultimate summer sip; it's about fueling a lifelong love ofreading," Stuart Brown, executive director of the Inspire Brands Foundation, said in a statement. "SONIC donates a portion of every drink purchase back to support local schools, each Sweet Topped Lemonade helps get local students the resources they need through the SONIC Foundation's Limeades for Learning® initiative. Together with these celebrated authors, we're making it easier for students across the country to turn the page toward a brighter future."
The new Sweet Topped Lemonades are currently available to order in the app, with the official nationwide rollout slated for Monday, June 2.

How NASCAR's In-Season Challenge works for 2025
NASCAR's In-Season Challenge is set to kick off on June 28 at Atlanta Motor Speedway as TNT Sports begins its part of the broadcast schedule. The new tournament-style bracket is sure to add plenty of story lines to the summer months. Bookmark this page and refer back to it often for information on how the In-Season Challenge works: What is the In-Season Challenge? A 32-driver, single-elimination tournament that takes place over five races on TNT Sports. The driver with the best finish in each matchup advances to the next round. Advertisement When does it start? The first In-Season Challenge race is June 28 at Atlanta — but there are three seeding races before that that set the bracket itself. Who qualifies? The top 32 drivers in points following the NASCAR Cup Series race at Nashville on June 1 (7 p.m. ET, Prime Video) will make up the In-Season Challenge field. How is the bracket seeded? There are three seeding races — Michigan International Speedway (June 8), Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez (June 15) and Pocono Raceway (June 22). Drivers are seeded by their best finish in those three races. How are ties in seeding broken? The first tiebreaker is the next-best finish in the three seeding races. If two drivers were to finish with the exact same finishing positions over the three seeding races, the next tiebreaker is points standings following the Pocono race. Advertisement What tracks are in the In-Season Challenge? Atlanta Motor Speedway (32 drivers), Chicago Street Course (16), Sonoma Raceway (8), Dover Motor Speedway (4) and Indianapolis Motor Speedway (2). How do drivers advance? Simple. The driver in each head-to-head matchup that finishes higher than the other 'wins' that matchup and advances to the next round. What does the winner get? A cool $1 million — the ultimate bragging rights. How can I watch? All five In-Season Challenge races air on TNT, and an alternate broadcast on truTV will focus exclusively on the In-Season Challenge matchups in real time. IN-SEASON CHALLENGE
