(CNN) - Sonic wants to help you celebrate next month solar eclipse, even if you aren’t in the path of totality.

The fast-food restaurant is launching a limited-edition drink called the black-out slush float.

Its black color celebrates darkness from the eclipse, but what does this celestial event taste like?

The drink is described as cotton candy and dragon fruit, topped with white soft serve and blue and purple galaxy theme sprinkles.

Everyone who buys the drink will also get a free pair of eclipse glasses to watch the event safely.

The black-out slush float will be available starting March 25 until May 5 at participating Sonic locations.

Sonic is one of a number of businesses trying to cash in on the celestial event.

Look for discounts, eclipse-themes beer and special souvenirs as the day draws closer.
