Slush Puppies

Icy flavored beverages

Slush Puppies is the plural of Slush Puppy, a brand of frozen flavored drink sold at convenience stores and movie theaters.

The drink consists of finely crushed ice mixed with sweet, brightly colored syrup—typically cherry, blue raspberry, or cola.

The term sometimes refers generically to any similar slushy beverage: We stopped for Slush Puppies on the way home.
