Wine-Inspired QSR Slushies

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Sonic Uncorked Slushes Come in Three Non-Alcoholic Flavors

— August 27, 2021 — Lifestyle
The Sonic Uncorked Slushes are being introduced by the QSR brand to provide avid wine fans with a non-alcoholic way to enjoy the flavor of some summertime favorites. 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.
