We love going to Sonic for a refreshing drink to beat the heat. There are many Sonic slush flavors they offer, but now I can easily make their favorite slushie at home.

This Sonic Slushie is the perfect drink when hosting a family gathering or your next BBQ. They taste amazing and are easy to make.
