Sonic Unveils Pickle Juice Slush In Bel Air

If you like pickles, you may want to take a sip of Sonic's newest flavored slushy drink. It debuted in Bel Air and nationwide on Monday.

BEL AIR, MD — Sonic Drive-Ins are unveiling a new wave of flavor Monday that has everyone talking. Four snow cone flavors have just hit menus, including Pickle Juice. Bahama Mama, Blue Hawaiian and Tiger's Blood are also up for the tasting.

News of the signature Pickle Juice as a slush flavor first hit in March and nearly broke the internet with a cacophony of buzz about this fascinating sweet yet tart sensation. Some were surprised, others tantalized but one thing was clear: the intrigue was unanimous.

"Sonic's guests are game to try adventurous and fun flavors, so we've made it our mission to deliver the best of both worlds when it comes to innovation and variety," said Scott Uehlein, vice president of product innovation and development for Sonic. "The entire Snow Cone Slush lineup - including Pickle Juice, Bahama Mama, Blue Hawaiian and Tiger's Blood - has a distinctly summertime vibe, allowing our guests to create new summer memories."
