Shake Shack is welcoming Spring with open arms by releasing a brand-new frozen treat: a cherry blossom milkshake! On March 20, the New York-based burger joint [1] debuted the light-pink drink as a nod to Japan's famed sakura season [2]. It combines vanilla custard with cherry-blossom-flavored sauce and features a hearty sprinkling of pink chocolate shavings on top. I mean, who wouldn't want to wash down their ShackBurger and cheesy crinkle-cut fries [3] with a pretty, floral-inspired milkshake like this one?
This limited-edition sip joins a collection of other Shake Shack milkshake flavors, like chocolate, coffee, and caramel. So far, the cherry-blossom drink has received slightly mixed reviews, with one customer noting [4] how it "tasted like medicine," but another happy visitor praising it [5] as "reaaaally good." Take a look at customer photos of the Instagrammable drink ahead, and you'll certainly feel inclined to try it for yourself.
