For years<\/a>, I\u2019ve been saying we should include other green flavors with our annual March treats.<\/p>\nSonic seems to agree, because its new Sour Shamrock Slush is not mint but apple. It\u2019s a green apple slush with sour popping candy throughout, capped with whipped topping and a rainbow candy piece.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This thing is a beauty. It evokes not just green fields of shamrocks but also a cloud with a rainbow and a pot of gold at the end. It\u2019s much more creative than all the mint shakes we get at this time of year.<\/p>\n
The slush has a typical green apple candy flavor. It\u2019s vibrant and enjoyable, a bold flavor choice. The texture of the slush is just the right amount of grainy and liquidy. Sonic has mastered making slushes, and this one is no different.<\/p>\n
Usually, when popping candy is included in things like this, the popping is the only thing you get. Since I don\u2019t drink in my car, I could hear my drink snapping during the 18-minute drive home, and I definitely feel a little crackle in my mouth. But with this drink, the popping takes a backseat to the candy\u2019s sour nature. There is no mistaking the sourness here! Not quite the level of an actual lemon, but closer to the sour dusting on Sour Patch Kids. Since the candies are small, they don\u2019t overpower the drink, but you can\u2019t miss them.<\/p>\n
The rainbow candy bite seems to be an artificial cherry flavor, like those multicolored candy canes you get in elementary school. I enjoy it, but it\u2019s so chewy that it feels like I\u2019m taking a break from the slush to eat the candy. I\u2019m fine with that, but it doesn\u2019t feel like a cohesive part of the whole.<\/p>\n
The whipped topping is the typical grocery store variety, like Cool Whip. It\u2019s not something I ever considered putting on a slush before, but I\u2019m not mad about it. Since it\u2019s mostly oil, it doesn\u2019t really integrate into the slush the way that actual whipped cream or ice cream might.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
As I got to the bottom, I mixed the topping with the rest of the slush, and I didn\u2019t like it as much. But I don\u2019t know whether the whipped topping ruined the flavor, or whether the drink was already losing its flavor as I sucked the slush through my straw.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m really delighted with this drink. And I\u2019m hoping this can also help us move into embracing green flavors more broadly during March: lime, pistachio, pear, honeydew, kiwi, avocado, pickle…Think of the possibilities!<\/p>\n
