For a limited time this Valentine's Day, Hard Rock Cafe will be serving its Sweetheart Shake for Two as a boozy treat for pairs. The Valentine's Day shake combines Absolut Vanilla vodka with vanilla ice cream, plus the flavors of strawberry and lemon, all of which is topped with a decadent strawberry-infused whipped cream. Perfect for sharing, the shake comes with a custom straw for friends and couples alike.
To help couples and singles of all sorts celebrate Valentine's Day in a fun way, Hard Rock Cafe is also offering special menus in select locations. The 'Love Rocks' menu includes items like the Lucky in Love Lobster Ravioli, while the 'Love Hurts' menu serves up a different take on this idea with Bleeding Heart Lobster Ravioli.
