Sonic has introduced a new line of green tea infused Refreshers that are now available nationwide, offering three fruit forward options with hydrating electrolytes and a natural caffeine boost.

The beverages come in Strawberry Passion Fruit Refresher, Berry Citrus Refresher, and Mango Peach Refresher. Each blends real fruit pieces or fruit with green tea, and each 20 ounce serving contains about 45 milligrams of caffeine.

Guests may order the drinks still or sparkling, and the chain sells them in a 20 ounce medium size starting at $2.99. Customers can buy Refreshers in person or through the SONIC app.

Program Details And Corporate Remarks

The Strawberry Passion Fruit Refresher mixes passion fruit and strawberry pieces with hydrating electrolytes and a natural green tea caffeine lift, while the Berry Citrus Refresher pairs wild berry and blueberry with real lemon, electrolytes, and green tea. The Mango Peach Refresher joins the lineup as a mango and peach blend with electrolytes and green tea.

Barbara Williams, Vice President of Culinary Innovation & Category Management at SONIC, said with Refreshers joining the drink lineup SONIC continues to be the spot for every drink occasion, giving guests another reason to stop by, sip often, and make SONIC part of their daily rhythm. She added the drinks are the perfect companion for summer travel, providing hydration along with a natural green tea boost.

The chain reports that Refreshers are a permanent menu addition and that each 20 ounce beverage has less than half the caffeine of a regular cup of coffee, at roughly 45 milligrams per serving. Prices begin at $2.99 for the medium size.

SONIC also includes the new Refreshers in its Limeades for Learning initiative, which donates a portion of Drink, Slush, Blast, and Shake sales to support public education. The company positions the addition as both a seasonal and longer term menu item for warmer weather occasions.
