Fruity Cereal Slushies

The Watson's Toucan Slam Slushie is Froot Loops™-Flavored

— April 7, 2020 — Lifestyle
The Watson's Toucan Slam is a boozy slushie with a fruity cereal garnish. Priced at $9 a glass, the indulgent cocktail is an homage to children's cereal Froot Loops™and consists of Rum Chata and Froot Loops™-flavored vodka. The finished blend is topped with crunchy cereal pieces and will appeal to Millennials with an appreciation for nostalgia.

Based in Champaign, Illinois, Watson's Shack & Rail is a fast-casual eatery specializing in an array of signature sandwiches, table snacks and fried chicken options. The eatery's Toucan Slam slushie was launched this past January, appealing to fans of iced drinks remixed with an alcohol twist.

Inspired by food festivals, fairs and roadside stops, slushie drinks are regaining popularity among the masses. The kid-friendly beverage format is being re-adapted for adults and this menu item fuses the best of both worlds with its fruity cereal theme.
