# Sweet Energy Drink Slushies Red Bull Slushes are Coming to Sonic at the End of April By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2019-03-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-bull-slushes References: [delish](https://www.delish.com/food-news/a26963779/sonic-new-red-bull-slush/) Just when you thought [Sonic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-rechargers) couldn't top last year's Pickle Juice Slush, now the chain has announced the debut of Red Bull Slushes. Just as you might have guessed, these new energy drink slushies will give you a powerful energy boost. The new Red Bull Slushes are set to arrive at Sonic locations on April 29. The drink is fairly straightforward and simply combines the chain's famous Slush base with an entire can of Red Bull. However, what sets this drink apart is the powerful boost of sugar and caffeine, which will definitely give you a mid-day pick-me-up if you need it. If you want to swap your iced coffee for a Red Bull Slush, be sure to hit up your local Sonic before the drink disappears in June.
