Candy-Infused Slushie Drinks

Sonic's New Redberry Sour Patch Kids Slush is Made with Real Candy

— November 12, 2019 — Lifestyle
Sonic is well known for offering unconventional slushie flavors like Red Bull and pickle juice, and its new Redberry Sour Patch Kids Slush is just as innovative.

Sonic's new Redberry Sour Patch Kids Slush is a sweet and sour drink that will make your tastebuds sing. The drink is made with a Sour Patch Kids Redberry-flavored syrup, along with real Sour Patch Kids candy. The candy adds a tart flavor and a gummy texture that helps to quell any impending brain freeze. For those who are 21 and up, the chain hints that the new flavor pairs well with gin for a spiked candy cocktail.

Though the official release date remains under wraps, expect to see the Redberry Sour Patch Kids Slush at Sonic very soon.
