TL;DR
Dave's Hot Chicken is launching Red Bull Boosted Slushers, a new line of frozen drinks made with Red Bull Energy Drink, at participating locations nationwide and globally. The launch is part of the brand's efforts to evolve its beverage platform and offer guests new and customizable drink experiences.
The beverage lineup includes Slushers made with fruit flavors and Red Bull Energy Drink, creating an icy, refreshing option that pairs with the menu.
Guests can choose from four Red Bull Boosted Slusher flavors:
Strawberry Lemonade Red Bull Slusher
Orange Lavaburst Red Bull Slusher
Fruit Punch Red Bull Slusher
Berry Blast Red Bull Slusher
Each drink is a frozen Slusher boosted with Red Bull, providing a cold beverage option to accompany the menu.
“We’ve never wanted Dave’s to be a place people visit just once,” said Jim Bitticks, CEO of Dave’s Hot Chicken. “From collectibles and late-night exclusives to frozen drinks that keep evolving, we’re constantly giving our guests something new to discover. Red Bull Boosted Slushers are the latest example of that.”
The launch marks the latest evolution of Dave’s beverage platform, which has rapidly grown beyond traditional fountain drinks. Following the introduction of Creme Slushers, Burstin’ Slushers featuring fruit-filled bursting pearls and limited-time Pop Rocks® Slushers, the addition of Red Bull Boosted Slushers continues Dave’s commitment to giving guests unexpected, highly customizable drink experiences that are every bit as memorable as its food.
Guests can also purchase an individual 8.4-ounce can of Red Bull Energy Drink at participating Dave’s Hot Chicken locations.
The launch arrives as the brand runs various offerings, including Marvel Animation’s X-Men ’97 collectible meal featuring blind-bag figurines, exclusive digital comics and app-only rewards, and the Dave’s After Dark menu with Nacho Fries, Dave’s Cheesy Bites, Reaper Cheese Fries, Spicy Buffalo Mac & Cheese, a Neapolitan Shake, and more. Together, these launches reflect a combination of menu items with pop culture-inspired elements and time-limited offerings.
Red Bull Boosted Slushers can be ordered with other items on the menu.
