Sonic Picklerita Recipe – 5 Simple Steps

The Sonic Picklerita is a wonderful drink that combines the slushy flavor with the taste of dill pickles. It’s a bold, unusual drink that keeps you hydrated and energized. The unparalleled texture really makes it stand out.

It is a really easy-to-make recipe. You just need to follow some simple steps, and you’ll get the yummy drink you want. Just follow these simple steps:

Step 1 – Make The Drink’s Base

The first step to creating your drink is to make the base. The base can be the ingredients I listed above, like the Sonic Lemon Lime Slush, Sprite, or 7-Up.

Include ice to the drink. Add any sweetener if you prefer a sugary drink. Just make sure that the ice being added is crushed because, honestly, it tastes amazing when it’s cold.

Step 2 – Blend the Mixture

Get a high-powered blender. Add your bought ingredients, like ice, soda lime flavoring, and pickle juice, to the blender and then blend until the texture is slushy and smooth. If you are not satisfied with the texture, you can add items till you get the texture right.

If the texture is too thick, you can add more soda, whereas if the texture is too thin, you can add ice to the mixture to make it thicker.

Step 3 – Add Green Food Coloring

This is an optional step. If you want the slushie to look just like the original Sonic Picklerita, you can add food coloring to enhance its appearance.

We suggest using 1 or 2 drops of any green food color and then mixing it all well. This will make the drink look just like the original Sonic Picklerita.

You can always skip this step, but if you want to add to the experience, we recommend you follow this step.

Step 4 – Taste Test and Adjust the Flavor

This is an important step as it ensures that the drink is to your liking. As the Sonic Picklerita contains the saltness of pickles as well as the taste of lime alongside the sweetness, you need to taste it to determine if you like the flavor.

If you want the flavor to be more tangy, you can add more pickle juice, and if you prefer a more Sonic-like flavor, you need to add more sugar. If you want a brighter flavor, you can include more lime.

Here’s what your Sonic Piclerita will look like after this step:

Step 5 – Include Toppings and Serve the Drink

Pour the slushy into a glass and add some toppings like pickle slices or pickle popping pearls. You can top the drink with a pickle chip, too. Adding these toppings makes it more interesting.

You can even sprinkle some salt, as it adds a little kick to the drink as well. After the toppings are added, you can serve the drink and enjoy it with other foods. This Sonic Picklerita will keep you satisfied after a long, stressful day.

How Many Calories Are In Sonic Picklerita

The official Sonic Picklerita contains around 290 calories, whereas its homemade version can contain around 150 cal to 300 cal depending on the amount of sugar and soda.

If you use the diluted version of the pickle juice, 7Up, or Sprite, you can keep the calories low. If you add sugar syrup, the calories can go up to 300.

Here are some additional tips you can use to lower the calories in your drink.

How To Lower Your Sonic Picklerita’s Calories

• Use the diet version of the sodas. So if you are going with Sprite, make sure you choose the diet lemon Sprite instead of your usual Sprite.
• Don’t include more sugar than you need to, as the other items already contain high sodium and flavor.
• Add more ice to fill the space instead of including more items with high calories.
• Skip the whipped toppings and avoid sweetened sparkling water for your base.

What To Serve With Sonic Picklerita

You can serve the Sonic Picklerita with all kinds of different foods like fried pickles, burgers, loaded fries, and nachos. I also have Sparkling Coconut Water with it for a rich taste.

The Sonic Picklerita pairs really well with these foods, as it balances out the richness. It is also really good with BBQ food, especially the BBQ wings, because the pickled flavor is common in those meals.

Potato chips like dill pickle chips, salt and vinegar chips, and jalapeño chips go really well with the Sonic Picklarita as well.

You can have the drink with mozzarella sticks and corn dogs.

Is Sonic Picklerita Vegan?

Yes, the homemade Sonic Picklerita drink is considered vegan. This is because it does not contain any ingredients that are dairy-related at all.

All the ingredients used in the drink are plant-based, like the slush base, pickle juice, the pickle chips, and other toppings.
