SONIC Drive-In is launching a brand new menu item tomorrow that’s perfect for cooling down on summer days.
The fast food chain has a new beverage headed to its 3,500 restaurants.
Sonic is introducing a Strawberry Shortcake Snowball Slush Float on May 29.
Priced at $2.99 for a medium, the slush features several layers of flavor to accompany the store’s popular burgers, hot dogs, and fries.
The beverage is made with real strawberries, creamy ice cream, and signature Sonic slush.
The slush is topped with vanilla ice cream and sugar crystals to mimic the crunchy texture of a real-life snowball.

Mackenzie Gibson, vice president of culinary and menu innovation at Sonic, reckons customers will love how the new item “provides a delicious respite from the summer heat.”
“This Snowball Slush Float is the perfect summertime treat to sip on while road-tripping, heading to the beach, or barbecuing with family,” she said in a press release.
THE CATCH
However, the beverage will only be on the menu for a limited time.
Sonic confirmed to The U.S. Sun that it will be available through July while supplies last.
