<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been on a slush kick since Free Slurpee Day at 7-Eleven.<\/p>\n
It was the first slush-style drink I\u2019d had in what felt like years, and something inside of me reawakened. I made up for that lost time in rapid fashion. Wawa hit me with a surprise free ICEE reward, which I immediately cashed in on. I had a few unearned pina coladas, grabbed a slushie with an otherwise gross McDonald\u2019s dinner, and I\u2019ve gone back to 7-Eleven two times since. Needless to say, I\u2019ve been overdoing it.<\/p>\n
In my defense, it\u2019s basically the hottest summer ever, but I do need to nip this in the bud now before it gets out of hand. I don\u2019t wanna get addicted to these sugar bombs, so here I am, vowing to return to a slush-less life\u2026 as soon as I try Sonic\u2019s new Tropical Colada Slush.<\/p>\n
What you\u2019re looking at here is basically a pina colada sans rum \u2013 Sonic\u2019s version of a mocktail.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Pineapple, coconut, and banana are arguably my three favorite fruits, and as far as I\u2019m concerned, three flavors that usually blend together perfectly. Usually.<\/p>\n
A pina colada with the added banana flavor sounds incredible, but something here just didn\u2019t jive. The Tropical Colada Slush is good, but I really wanted it to be amazing.<\/p>\n
This is very pineapple-forward. It dominates the flavor, especially for the first few sips, which I think gave me a brain freeze in world record timing. The Guinness Book later confirmed my claim, but bluntly stated, \u201cNo one cares, bro.\u201d<\/p>\n
After a few sips, I started to notice a little banana peeking through, which mellowed the sharper pineapple flavor. The real surprise of this slush was how lowkey the coconut was. I don\u2019t like when coconut is so strong you think you\u2019re drinking suntan lotion, but I needed the flavor ramped up about 60% here.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Ultimately it was refreshing, but the recipe needs a tweak. I love Sonic ice, which is closer to a Slush Puppy than a Slurpee, but with this flavor profile, I think I would have preferred the fluffier 7-Eleven style. This thing is dense.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a bit bummed overall for the lack of coconut, but mostly for how soft the banana flavor was. It\u2019s so rare to get something like this with banana. I almost wish I could\u2019ve tried it without the pineapple entirely. Still, I think this scratched my banana itch \u2014- and yes, that does sound awful. I apologize for writing those words.<\/p>\n
I wanted this to be the best slush I\u2019ve ever had. Instead, it was only okay. It hit the spot on another 95-degree day at least.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d recommend asking for an extra shot of banana if possible. I noticed you could add a shot of blue coconut syrup, which might also be a good idea to counteract the pineapple. As an added bonus, it\u2019ll probably make the slush a satisfying sky-blue color instead of the nondescript off-white.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d say give this a try, but go during happy hour and get it for half price. Just be careful, though, because slush drinks can be very addictive.<\/p>\n
