These new Sonic Slush flavors are being introduced as part of the brand's Aloha Slushes range to provide patrons with a taste of the tropics to enjoy this summertime. The drinks include the Polynesian Punch Slush and the Tropical Colada Slush, which both focus on a number of flavors sourced right from the tropics. The Polynesian Punch Slush is a Hawaiian-inspired option inspired by fruit punch, while the Tropical Colada Slush boasts the signature flavors of the cocktail including [pineapple, coconut and banana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pineapples-aplenty).

The new Sonic Slush flavors in the Aloha Slushes are being launched on June 26, 2023 to coincide with the start of summer but are being offered early exclusively for app users. Customers can enjoy both flavors right now when placing their order via the app.
