Arby's, the fast-food chain most famous for its gyro sandwiches, has brought back its fan-favorite mint chocolate shakes for a limited time. The 'Mint Chocolate Shake' at Arby's is made with a vanilla base, mint syrup, whipped cream, a chocolate drizzle, and crushed mint pieces.
This is the first limited edition item from Arby's in 2022, and the choice of a mint chocolate flavor is perfect for closing out the end-of-year festivities of 2021. While this was announced later than most peppermint drinks, such as Starbucks' peppermint mocha which runs from October to January, this milkshake will be available for longer throughout the first few months of 2022, while supplies last.
The Mint Chocolate Shake is available now at participating Arby's locations for $2.79 for a small and $3.99 for a large.
