Hot on the heels of its new Baja Blast Birthday Freeze, Taco Bell has just released the new Sour Strawberry Skittles Freeze. Though far more tart than the Baja Blast Birthday Freeze, the new slushie is perfect for fans of sour candy.
The new Sour Strawberry Skittles Freeze is a cool, slushie-like drink that allows you to truly "taste the rainbow." The drink starts with plenty of ice, which is then blended with strawberry flavoring and a tantalizingly tart swirl that is reminiscent of Skittles candy. The result is a sweet and sour flavor combination that will have your lips puckering in the best way possible.
The new Sour Strawberry Skittles Freeze is available at participating Taco Bell locations for a limited time.
