Vanilla Milkshake

What is it?

Thick enough to hold a straw upright, this milkshake is built from McDonald’s soft dairy ice cream and vanilla flavouring. It’s blended to a smooth, spoon-thick texture, so it comes out more like a dessert drink than a thin shake. Compared with the other shakes on the UK menu, vanilla is the plainest option and the base for the flavoured versions. Served cold in a cup with a lid, it leans on the dairy texture rather than any added bits or toppings.
