Sonic built its fall lineup out of dirty sodas rather than shakes, slushes or anything from the freezer. The Sonic fall menu runs under the name Hotumn. Fruit puree, vanilla and sweet cream go into three sodas, and a fourth drink pours over freshly brewed sweet tea.
Cherry, blueberry, wildberry and cranberry carry the flavour side of the lineup, with peach folded into the sweet tea. Sonic launched the four on 24 August 2026 for a limited time.
The short answer
Sonic put four Hotumn drinks on the board on 24 August 2026. Cherry Pie made with Coke, Blueberry Pie made with Dr Pepper and Harvest Berry made with Sprite pour over three different sodas. Cranberry Orchard Sweet Tea takes peach and cranberry through freshly brewed sweet iced tea.

Sonic Fall Menu Drinks and Flavours
Four drinks make up the Sonic fall menu, and every one of them pours cold and still. Vanilla and sweet cream run through the three sodas, which is what gives the lineup its dirty soda shape. Real fruit puree goes into three of the four.
Every drink below belongs to the seasonal lineup. Burgers, slushes, shakes and the rest of the drinks hold their year-round places on their year-round rows. Nothing there changes while the Hotumn four are pouring.
Sonic Hotumn Dirty Sodas
Cherry and vanilla flavours with sweet cream go into Coca-Cola, and a cherry sits on top. Blueberry puree, vanilla and sweet cream go into Dr Pepper on the Blueberry Pie build, while wildberry puree, cranberry and vanilla go into Sprite. Sonic pours all three at participating drive-ins.
| Item | Base | Flavours |

| Blueberry Pie made with Dr Pepper | Dr Pepper | Blueberry puree, vanilla flavour and sweet cream |
| Harvest Berry made with Sprite | Sprite | Wildberry puree with cranberry and vanilla flavours |
Sonic Cranberry Orchard Sweet Tea
Freshly brewed sweet iced tea carries the one drink on the Sonic fall menu that leaves soda out. Peach puree and cranberry flavour go in over the tea. Cranberry Orchard Sweet Tea takes the same fruit-forward treatment the three sodas get, over a tea base instead.
