After sipping a treat found at the end of the St. Patrick’s Day rainbow, Sonic adds another limited time beverage to its menu. The new beverage, Strawberry Horchata Cream Slush, gives familiar flavors a twist. Ready to enjoy this juicy, sweet sip?
Time and again, Sonic uses its beverages to push flavor innovation. From pickle to sour, people thirst for another refreshing beverage served over that signature ice or ice cream soft serve.
Since the Slush is so versatile, the drink allows Sonic to be playful with its offerings. By taking familiar flavors and adding a riff, it is an easy way for the brand to surprise and delight fans without taking a huge investment risk.
Speaking about the new Strawberry Horchata Cream Slush, Barbara Williams, Vice President of Culinary Innovation & Category Management at Sonic said, “At Sonic, we love taking sweet flavors and giving them a fresh, fun twist our guests can’t find anywhere else. We stayed true to the authentic, cinnamon-spiced flavors commonly found in horchata while introducing refreshing strawberry for a cool, craveable drink that feels just unexpected enough and perfect for spring.”
Ready to Try the New Sonic Strawberry Horchata Cream Slush?
The new, limited time beverage is sweet, creamy and a little juicy. Sonic’s Strawberry Horchata Cream Slush starts with its signature slush and blends it with soft serve, cinnamon-spiced horchata syrup and real strawberries.
The flavor is sweet. From the soft serve to the syrup, the drink is dessert-forward. At the same time, the complexity keeps the beverage from being cloying.
Cinnamon’s warm spicy notes lift the vanilla. It has just the right amount of complexity to make every sip exciting.
Plus, the strawberries add a brightness to break up the sweet. Having real strawberries ensures that a touch of tartness comes through with the juiciness. In a way, that element makes it feel a little special.
The new Sonic Strawberry Horchata Cream Slush hits menus on March 23. Sonic App users get early access on March 16. The suggested price is $3.99 for a 20-ounce order, but prices can vary.
