You can beat the heat by adding it your beverage instead of standing out in the sweaty air. Summer marks milkshake season and this [chocolate jalapeno shake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-shake) is embracing the hot and spicy tastes we all love. Starting April 28, the new shakes will headline Sonic's annual Summer of Shakes. The flavors include [Oreo peanut butter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-candy-cane-milkshake), salted caramel and chocolate jalapeno. Personally, my favorite out of the three is the salted caramel, although I do enjoy a good spice in my meals. The chocolate jalapeno Sonic shake is made by blending real ice cream with jalapenos and chocolate sauce. The best part about Sonic's annual Summer of Shakes is that after 8 p.m all summer, you can enjoy Sonic shakes for half the price. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Spicy Desserts:** Innovative and unexpected flavor combinations in desserts are becoming more popular. - **Summer Shake Promotions:** Limited time promotions on milkshakes during the summer months are a growing trend. - **Fast Food Innovation:** Fast food chains are incorporating unique and unconventional menu items to stand out in a competitive market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Food:** Fast food chains can capitalize on the trend of adding unconventional flavors to their menus. - **Ice Cream:** More ice cream shops are experimenting with unconventional flavor combinations. - **Beverage:** Companies can create limited time promotions on specialty drinks during the summer months to attract customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Branded Nutty Chocolate Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-peanut-butter-shake.md) - [Romantic Blended Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-covered-strawberry-shake-1.md) - [Summertime Dessert Milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-shake.md) - [Frozen Hot Chocolate Milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-hot-cocoa-shake.md) - [Savory Bacon-Infused Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-peanut-butter-bacon-shake.md) - [Evening Milkshake Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/half-price-shakes.md) - [Halloween-Themed QSR Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-trick-or-treat-blasts.md) - [Cafe-Inspired Milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-shakes.md) - [Triple Chocolate Custard Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-chocolate-brownie-shake.md)
