Tropical Fruit-Infused Slushies

Checkers & Rally's are Gearing Up for Summer with Island Slushies

— March 18, 2018 — Lifestyle
Summer is just around the corner and sister chains Checkers and Rally's are getting ready by rolling out a new lineup of Island Slushies. Available in two tropical fruit flavors, the icy drinks are the ultimate way to beat the heat.

Checkers and Rally's new Island Slushies are blended drinks made with a mixture of real fruit, ice, and Minute Maid juice. The drinks come in two tangy fruit flavors: Carribean Colada and Peach Mango. The new drinks are set to join the chain's 'Chill Stop' menu, which includes Smoothies and Kool Aid Slushies in enticing flavors such as Tropical Punch and Blue Raspberry.

For those already pining for warmer days, the new Island Slushies can be found at participating Checkers and Rally's locations for a limited time.
