The slushies come in three sweet flavor options to choose from including Strawberry Frosé, Red Berry Sangria and Peach Bellini. The treats each call to mind flavor notes of warm weather refreshments that will help to cap off the summer season in a sweet, fruity way. The Sonic Uncorked Slushes are being launched at participating locations across the nation starting on August 30 through September 26, 2021. The slushies are being made available anytime for patrons to pick up, but are being promoted as a great option for purchase during Happy Hour when they can be purchased for half price.
