Sonic is delivering pleasure and perhaps a bit of pain in the form of an "ice cream headache" this summer with its three-layered Lemonberry Slush Float. The concoction features frozen lemonade slush, topped with ice cream and finished with strawberries in a sippable treat, a news release said.

The multi-layered scoopable, slushy concoction is designed to inspire a sense of the tropical where ever diners go with it.

"When you think about summer, you reminisce the tastes of ripened strawberries, tart lemonade and cold, creamy ice cream," said Scott Uehlein, vice president of product innovation and development for SONIC. "The Lemonberry Slush Float embodies all three iconic summer flavors, providing guests with a sip and spoonful of sunshine in a cup and a little moment to celebrate everyone's favorite season."

The LTO is $2.99 and available through Aug. 2.

Sonic is the largest drive-in brand in the nation, with more than 3,500 restaurants in 46 states. It's part of Inspire Brands.
