We went to Shake Shack's Innovation Kitchen to taste the three holiday menu items, and let's just say you may have to go three times this season to try them all.
The Sugar Cookie Shake, a fan favorite, returns. This shake is constructed with sugar cookie frozen custard, but instead of shortbread bits, it contains unique cookie dough pop candy, as well as whipped cream and cotton candy.
This popping white chocolate-coated cookie dough candy was created just for the shake, and we think this shake should be produced with popping candy from now on. Overall, this is a classic, and a classic can never go wrong.
Branch's Chocolate Peppermint Shake is a semi-returning shake from 2019, however this time Shake Shack's Innovation Kitchen tweaked the formula somewhat.
For the first time, the restaurant will combine its vanilla and chocolate frozen custards in the Chocolate Peppermint Shake, which is normally exclusively created with chocolate custard.
Mint fudge sauce is also included for that iconic choco-peppermint taste. Branch's shake, on the other hand, will be topped with whipped cream and blue and green mint candies to match the troll.
This smoothie is ideal for peppermint fans since the chocolate-vanilla combination mutes the delicious chocolate tastes and allows the peppermint to shine.
However, it has a strong minty flavor, so if you don't like it, you may want to try something different.
