Slushy Drinks

Spangles cherry slush

--Spangles

--3420 W. Sixth Street

--$1.59 (Medium)

This drink is so sweet and syrupy it makes your teeth hurt. The cooling iciness does little to detract from the veritable root canal you experience with each sip of this fire engine-red slush.

Al’s creamy blue raspberry alligator ice

--Kwik Shop

--1846 Massachusetts St.

--$1.50 (medium)

This drink comes in a fun electric blue color. The fun doesn’t last long, though, when the artificial fruity liquid of this drink is sucked out quickly from a straw, leaving only a plastic cup of dehydrated ice behind.

cherry arctic blast

--Kwik Shop

--1420 Kasold Dr.

--$0.94 (small)

This treat is smooth, fruity and slightly tart. It’s light, cold and good for refreshing a scratchy throat on a hot day.

BEST: sonic minute maid cranberry juice slush

--Sonic Drive-in

--3201 W. Sixth Street

--$1.60 (medium)

This is the best of the bunch because of its perfect liquid-to-ice ratio. Don’t let the cranberry surprise you, this drink isn’t too tart; instead, it’s the perfect mix of fruity refreshment. It’s made out of real cranberry juice, so you can get in a serving of fruit while enjoying this icy treat.
