It’s time for another round up of 7-Eleven Slurpee flavours. This here is Raspberry, a very pedestrian flavour that we’d ended up with because we trusted the sign that said Lemon Lime Bitters above the dispenser. Unfortunately, they’d removed that flavour when we returned so we never got to try that flavour. In any case, the raspberry has the bright sweetness and slight acidity of the fruit even if the flavour was more artificial than fresh.

This here is Zilched Wildberry Cream, which is ‘zilched’ with less than 1% sugar. Again, we were after the Kumquat Orange flavour but it wasn’t ready in the machine so we settled for this flavour given the unseasonably warm weather. The flavour was surprisingly creamy without a hint of dairy and with a generic sweet berry flavour – we weren’t able to narrow down the berry.

Finally, this is the Lychee Lemon, a flavour we’d actually entered the store intending to try. Lemon isn’t something we’d expect to be paired with lychee, but it works well: the lychee is sweet and tropical while the zestiness of the lemon brought a refreshing hit. This is easily the best of the three flavours we’d tried lately.

A few weeks later, we try the Tropical, a fresh flavour with prominent notes of sweet pineapple and the tanginess of passionfruit. It reminds of tropical punch fruit juice.

Raspberry, Zilched Wildberry Cream, Lychee Lemon and Tropical Slurpees were available at 7-Eleven in Sydney during February to March 2018.
