Johnny Rockets Serves up Nostalgia with New Retro-Inspired Beverages
Classic Burger Concept Launches MUG® Root Beer Float & STARRY® Shirley Temple Drinks in Partnership with PEPSI®
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Johnny Rockets, the timeless, all-American burger chain owned by FAT Brands Inc., is teaming up with PEPSI® to launch two limited-time beverage offerings that are guaranteed to refresh taste buds and bring back the golden age of soda. Available now through the end of the year, guests can step back in time and enjoy the new MUG® Root Beer Float and STARRY® Shirley Temple at participating locations nationwide.
Each new drink offering provides a modern twist on a fan-favorite beverage, the perfect complement to Johnny Rockets’ classic American fare.
