Drumstick and 7-Eleven mashed up two fan-favorite creations, the Blue Raspberry Slurpee drink and creamy vanilla, to make the ultimate summer refreshment: the Drumstick Slurpee Cone in Blue Raspberry Vanilla.
This Drumstick King Size cone builds on smooth signature vanilla with a crispy cone and a chocolatey nugget, plus details inspired by the iconic Slurpee, like the blue raspberry layer topped with blue raspberry sauce ripples and candy pieces.
Gen Z's affinity for the flavor of blue raspberry can be attributed to its vibrant, eye-catching color and the unique, tangy-sweet taste that evokes both nostalgia and a burst of energy. This limited-edition collaboration entices customers by mashing up the refreshment of slushies with the indulgence of ice cream and irresistible flavor.
