Whataburger fans can soon sip — or sink their teeth into two new menu items.

The Dr Pepper blackberry shake and bacon wrangler double arrive Tuesday, Aug. 5, at participating restaurants nationwide, according to the Texas-based burger chain.

The limited-time offerings are the latest to land at Whataburger as the brand celebrates 75 years, marking “its diamond anniversary” with new and returning menu favorites.

In a nod to its Texas roots, the bacon wrangler double features two beef patties topped with bacon, American and Monterey Jack cheeses, crispy onions and garlic aioli on a toasted bun, Whataburger said in a news release.

“As a proud Texas-born brand, Whataburger was built on bold flavors, genuine hospitality and a spirit that feels like home,” President and CEO Debbie Stroud said in the release. “The Bacon Wrangler Double is a delicious reminder that you can always experience a little bit of that spirit with every bite.”

Customers can wash it all down with the new Dr Pepper blackberry shake, also available for a limited time.

It’s a fruity take on the original Dr Pepper shake, combining Whataburger’s vanilla soft serve with Dr Pepper “and a touch of blackberry flavor,” according to the restaurant’s website.

The burger chain offered a Dr Pepper blackberry-flavored soda at restaurants earlier this year to rave reviews.

“We paired two Texas favorites in a way that feels fresh but familiar — fun, unexpected, and full of that signature Whataburger deliciousness,” Scott Hudler, chief marketing officer for Whataburger, said at the time.
