# Energy Drink-Infused Frozen Beverages The Sonic Red Bull Slushes Offer a Refreshing Energy Boost By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-04-30 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-red-bull-slushes References: [chewboom](https://www.chewboom.com/2019/04/29/new-red-bull-slushes-now-available-at-sonic/) & [sonicdrivein](https://www.sonicdrivein.com) The Sonic Red Bull Slushes are the latest creation from the QSR brand that aims to offer the popular energy drink in a different format for patrons to pick up this spring. The drink comes in two flavor options including the Original Red Bull Slush and the Cherry Limeade Red Bull Slush, which are both made with a base of the namesake energy drink. The Cherry Limeade variety has been mixed with a burst of cherry flavor and real lime juice for a tart finish. The Sonic Red Bull Slushes are available now at participating locations nationwide through June 2019 alongside 8.4 ounce cans of the Red Bull Energy Drink for consumers looking to boost their energy in a classic way.
