SONIC has confirmed to The U.S. Sun that a popular limited-edition beverage will not be coming back this summer.
Fans on social media had been asking when they would get to enjoy the refreshing menu item again.
Many Sonic Drive-In fans will be sad to know that the Shark Week Slush is not coming back on the menu.
The drink was first released in 2021 to celebrate Shark Week on Discovery, during which the network airs back-to-back documentaries on these apex predators.
The Shark Week Slush featured icy blue coconut slush with a layer of real strawberries and shark gummy candies.
It’s been a staple of the Sonic menu every summer for the past two years and also enjoyed a limited-time run in January 2023.

SODA STARS
This summer, Sonic is inviting customers to “remix your drink” by ordering a base soda, slush, or lemonade, and then choosing from various flavor add-ins.
These include cranberry and sugar-free mango flavors, real fruit such as cherries and lemons, and even NERDS Candy, with seemingly endless mix-and-match combinations.
Sonic Drive-In has also teamed up with JP Saxe, Kelsea Ballerini, Lainey Wilson, and Metro Boomin to share their preferred beverage mixes.
The music stars revealed their go-to Sonic order, which customers can now recreate themselves.
- JP Saxe - mango slush with NERDS Candy
- Kelsea Ballerini - Ocean Water with blue raspberry and lime
- Lainey Wilson - Sprite Zero with strawberries and sugar-free peach
- Metro Boomin - Lemonade with strawberries and vanilla
Ballerini said in a release: “My go-to has always been an Ocean Water, and when you remix it with blue raspberry and real limes...it’s a vacation in a cup.”
But Sonic isn’t the only fast food store that is serving up refreshing beverages this summer.
