Black Tap Milkshakes took the internet by storm when they were first released, and these incredible concoctions are still pulling massive lines. The demand for shakes has been so high that Black Tap has gone on to launch a pair of food trucks that only serve the brand's legendary milkshakes. The two trucks have gone on to serve eager fans across New York City, with one truck patrolling Central Park and the other around South Street Seaport.
There are currently three Black Tap Milkshakes available at the trucks, with each indulging in a sugary sense of nostalgia. The Strawberry Shortcake Shake is clearly inspired by the baked dessert and features a strawberry shortcake ice cream bar, a twisty pop, crushed graham crackers, a drizzle of strawberry syrup and a cherry. The Bam Bam Shake draws inspiration from Fruity Pebbles cereal and is sure to conjure up nostalgic feelings of Saturday morning cartoons. The final shake is the Cookies 'N Cream Supreme Shake and is essentially a chocolate bomb in liquid form. Crushed Oreos and chocolate drizzle blend into the shake and a fist sized chocolate cookie sandwich hangs just off the rim.
