July is National Ice Cream Month as well as National Hot Dog Month and Sonic has both occasions covered with the introduction of a new Baja Dog and line of Sundae Shakes

Sonic's new Sundae Shakes are available in three flavors – Turtle, Strawberry Dream and Classic Hot Fudge. The treats are all served in the new metallic-looking cup, specially designed to resemble the classic metallic cups from vintage soda fountains and ice cream parlors.

Turtle flavor features real ice cream hand-mixed with chocolate syrup and nuts, finished with whipped topping, caramel, more nuts and a cherry. Strawberry Dream includes real ice cream hand-mixed with strawberries and finished with whipped topping, more strawberries and a cherry. Classic Hot Fudge includes real ice cream hand-mixed with hot fudge and finished with whipped topping and more hot fudge.

Sonic's Baja Dog adds some spice to the Premium Beef Hot Dog menu line up first introduced in March, available for $1.99 each.

The Baja Dog is topped with melty pepper jack cheese, tomato slices, diced onions and spicy jalapenos served on a warm, poppy seed bun.

"Only Sonic offers customers unique, premium menu items and allows them to feed their own creativity through personalization," said Danielle Vona, chief marketing officer for Sonic. "These limited time menu options are excellent additions for our guests."
