After Tasting Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie’s New Sonic Drinks, I’m 100% a Paris—Are You?

Dubbed “fruity & fun,” this ombré pink-to-gold drink practically glittered as the car hop skated it over to me. It, like The Nicole, seems made for Instagram with its over-the-top, colorful vibe. The drink features Sprite infused with Dragon Fruit flavor, and amped-up citrus flavor, thanks to the addition of lemon and lime slices. NERDS speckle the bottom of the cup, as well as the whipped cream topping.

Admittedly, I cringed before sipping this one. As cute as it looked, I’m not a fan of Nerds, and the whole thing screamed sugar bomb. But one sip in, my eyes opened, my shoulders relaxed and I was pleasantly surprised: It wasn’t as sweet as I had expected. The fresh lemon and lime helped offset its sweetness, resulting in a fruity flavor with a crisp, citrusy finish. Could I do without the whipped cream topping? Yes. Would it make the presentation less exciting? Also, yes. So I can see why it’s there.

If you enjoy a root beer float or Creamsicle—but aren’t so keen on orange—this is the drink for you. The Nicole is a dirty Dr. Pepper (aka Dr. Pepper with sweet cream and vanilla flavoring). It’s swirled with fresh strawberries, then topped with whipped cream and even more chopped strawberries. Going into things, I was more excited about this drink, and initially, it was my favorite. It has the creamy-smooth flavor of a Dr. Pepper float, and the fresh berries are such a refreshing touch. It oddly reminded me of chocolate-covered strawberries and Valentine’s Day?

After half a cup, though, the sweet cream started tasting too heavy for me, and I found myself reaching for The Paris (!) as a palate cleanser. The Nicole is like a full dessert in a cup; it’s something you enjoy on its own, whereas The Paris paired a bit better with fries and a Smasher burger.

Kudos to Paris and Nicole for distilling the essence of their souls into soda-forward, candy- and fruit-speckled beverages. They’re a fun break from the ordinary, making them a pretty ideal callback to the enduring appeal of The Simple Life in the first place. So, while sweet, I’d order them as a stand-alone treat—much like you would a Frappuccino or milkshake—rather than a thirst-quencher to round out my meal.

Just note that they won’t be discounted during Happy Hour or Morning Drink Stop, and they’re only available for a limited time. So, if you want to live your Simplest Life, you better hit up the drive-in, stat.
