This summer, Sonic customers will be able to sip on a fresh new Brownie Batter Shake. The rich and creamy new treat will also be accompanied by the return of the fan-favorite Yellow Cake Batter Shake from last year.
Sonic's new Brownie Batter Master Shake is essentially a chewy chocolate brownie in milkshake form. The Brownie Batter Shake starts with real vanilla ice cream blended with a rich chocolate brownie batter. On the other hand, the returning Yellow Cake Batter Shake combines real vanilla ice cream with sweet yellow cake batter. Both shakes are topped with whipped cream and a cherry.
Both the Brownie Batter Shake and Yellow Cake Batter Shake can be found now through August 2nd, 2020 at Sonic.
