Wine Milkshakes are an Actual Thing and Probably Shouldn’t Be
Nope. Not on board.
Nothin' says NOPE like the idea of a wine milkshake. Flipping the bird to the haters, US burger chain Red Robin has made the bold, unstoppable move toward the unchartered territories of wineshakes. Yup. We'll give you a minute while you see that lunch of yours again.
Abominably but probably fittingly titled 'Divalicious Red Wine Shake' has been created by Red Robin in a furiously horrible attempt to bring all the boys to the yard. Ingredients? Little Black Dress "red wine", Pinnacle whipped vodka, raspberry puree and vanilla soft serve ice cream — the stuff underage backyard party and Poor Life Decision dreams are made of.
The best bit? Your red wine shake comes with a free dangly wine charm thingy because you're fancy like that. According to Red Robin's website, the shakes are designed "for 21-and-over guests in need of some 'me' time."
If you're kicking it around the States, the wine shakes are available as part of Red Robin's holiday collection — along with a more logical and less vom-inducing menu item, the gingerbread milkshake. But this isn't the first time Red Robin have released the ungodly blend of wine and dairy products — the crew revealed a 'Mango Moscato Shake' earlier this year. Yeah alright, that one doesn't sound or look so bad.
"The sky's the limit at Red Robin," says the campaign. Just... fly over there and away from my glass.
