If you want a kick in your milkshake try the new chocolate jalapeno [Sonic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-covered-strawberry-shake-1) shake. 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.
