The Sonic Unicorn Dreams Slush is the QSR brand's latest creation that's arriving as a whimsical take on its signature slushies that's crafted with taste and an ethereal appearance in mind. The drink starts off with a vibrant pink cotton candy base that's infused with blue raspberry flavored bubbles before being topped with whipped topping and pink cotton candy sugar crystals. The drink also comes with the Legendary Wish-Awakening Unicorn Horn Straws that come in four options to collect.
Vice President of Culinary & Menu Innovation Mackenzie Gibson spoke on the Sonic Unicorn Dreams Slush saying, "We developed the Unicorn Dreams Slush to be more than just a drink – it’s an entire culinary experience that’s bursting with fantastical fun and flavor in each sip. With its playful pink colors, blue raspberry flavor bubbles and the accompanying Unicorn Horn Straw, it is a treat for the senses and the imagination – and guaranteed to make every moment sparkle.”
