Tropical Heat Sonic Smasher
Fast-food chain Sonic is introducing tropical-inspired offerings for summer, including its new Tropical Heat Sonic Smasher. The smash burger features two hand-smashed patties made with Angus beef, topped with pepper Jack cheese, bacon, lettuce and mayo, as well as a sweet-and-spicy jalapeno pineapple glaze, all on a potato bun.
“Summer is when our guests come together for fun, flavorful moments and we crafted a lineup that delivers on that,” said Barbara Williams, vice president of culinary innovation and category management at Sonic.
The new burger debuts at Sonic locations nationwide beginning June 1, 2026, with early access available on the Sonic app starting May 26.
