"Over the course of the summer, I embarked on a grueling mission: to taste and rank every shake on Shake Shack's menu. As a huge fan of milkshakes, I was more than willing to step up. The 10 flavors, which are all made with frozen custard, included classics such as chocolate and vanilla, and limited-edition shakes, with the brand hoping to capitalize on the Dubai chocolate craze."
"As a chocolate ice cream lover, I thought this was sure to place high. Instead, this chocolate shake was somewhat middling for me. I thought it had an artificial aftertaste, and I couldn't take more than a couple of sips, something that never happens to me with chocolate ice cream. But some chocolate is better than no chocolate, hence its high ranking."
"It was delicious, but the smell knocked it down a few spots in the ranking. Ever since "Sex and the City" put Magnolia Bakery and its banana pudding on the map, I've always associated banana pudding with New York, and I'm a fan. Banana-flavored anything can be divisive - remember how mad some people would get on Halloween if they got banana Laffy Taffy? - but I thought this was great."
A comprehensive tasting and ranking covered all ten Shake Shack shakes over the summer. The menu contains ten flavors made with frozen custard, including four limited-edition offerings such as Dubai chocolate and banana pudding. Cookies and cream emerged as the favorite while the strawberry shake placed last. Most shakes were drinkable and enjoyable, though the chocolate shake had an artificial aftertaste that reduced its appeal for the taster. The banana pudding tasted like real bananas with cookie crumble and added cookie pieces that enhanced flavor without creating a crumb-like texture. Shake Shack did not respond to a request for comment.
