Must-Try New Drinks from Sonic, Shake Shack, and More (2025)

These new drinks from top fast food spots will refresh your taste buds!

Thirsty for something fresh? Well, we’ve got good news for you! Top fast food chains are shaking up their drink menus with fruity bursts and creamy concoctions to make your next dining experience even more exciting. Sonic is bringing something refreshing to the table, while Shake Shack is offering something chocolatey. Meanwhile, Ziggi’s Coffee is ready to serve its spring drinks, alongside fun tax-themed deals! Here’s a closer look at these new must-try offerings.

Shake Shack’s Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake

Shake Shack, known for creating out-of-the-box menu items, has done it again. The brand is introducing Dubai chocolate to its menu, in the form of the indulgent custard shake. Say hello to the new Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake! The chain capitalized on the popularity of the Dubai Chocolate bar that went viral on social media in late 2023, using its decadent flavors and crispy texture as inspiration for the latest shake.

Now, let’s take a closer look at this new heavenly treat. Shake Shack’s Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shakefeatures a pistachio custard, mixed with toasted kataifi shredded phyllo. It’s served in a crackable dark chocolate shell and then topped with chopped pistachios and more kataifi for that extra crunch. Sounds labor-intensive, right? It is, that’s why there’s a catch. According to the brand, they’re only releasing the Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake at select locations and will only serve 25 per day.

The Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake is available now at the following locations for a limited time:

California:

• Pasadena
• Glendale
• Beverly Hills
• Long Beach
• El Segundo
• WeHo
• Hollywood
• Studio City
• Century City
• Santa Monica

Florida:

• The Falls
• Mary Brickell Village
• Ft. Lauderdale

New York:

• DUMBO
• Downtown Brooklyn
• Astor Place
• Meatpacking
• Upper East Side
• 630 Lexington
• West Village
• Lower East Side
• Flatbush

Since Shake Shack is the first chain to bring the Dubai chocolate bar to the menus, the new shake is expected to sell out daily. It’s best to drop by the restaurant early if you want to give it a try, available for $7.99.

Sonic’s Berries and Cream Drink

Meanwhile, Sonic expanded its Flavorista Favorites menu with the release of the new Berries and Cream drink, now available at participating locations. The new drink features a combination of raspberry and blackberry syrups, blended with real strawberries, sweet cream, and Sprite. Price starts at $1.89.

To loyal Sonic fans, the Berries and Cream drink would sound familiar, that’s because in 2018, Sonic introduced a similar beverage, made with the brand’s signature Real Ice Cream, mixed with real strawberries and finished with Real Whipped Cream. As for the Berries and Cream drink available now, make sure to grab yours as soon as you can, because it’ll be around for a limited time only.

Also, in case you missed it, Sonic has revamped its $1.99 menu, proving its dedication to offering incredible value. The menu now features Queso Wraps in both Southwest Ranch and Bacon Ranch flavors, Groovy Fries, French Toast Sticks, and floats made with Dr Pepper, Barq’s Root Beer, Coca-Cola, or Fanta. In addition to the menu revamp, Sonic added two new sauces to its lineup: Jalapeño Ranch and Asian-Style Sweet Chili. Both are a must-try if you’re looking for something new to dip your nuggets or fries into!

From The Club

Thanks to these new drinks, our fast food experience will never be the same again. And I mean that in a good way…because look at that Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake from Shake Shack! I have never seen anything like that and the “magic” shell adds to the fun. Sonic and Ziggi’s Coffee are also great spots to level up our drink game. Nothing’s more refreshing than a fruity drink this spring, but I’d be down for that creamy Horchata anytime, too. 🤤
