The Sonic Blackout Slush Float is a new menu item arriving in anticipation of the North American Total Solar Eclipse taking place on April 8 to help customers get ready for the celestial event in a delicious way. The menu item features an all-black profile that incorporates flavors of cotton candy and dragon fruit into the mix. The Slush is then topped with the brand's creamy white soft serve for a touch of visual contrast and finished with galaxy-themed sprinkles in cosmic colors.
The Sonic Blackout Slush Float will make its debut at participating locations nationwide starting March 25, 2024 and be available for a limited time only. Customers will also receive a free pair of solar eclipse viewing glasses with their purchase of the drink.
