Shake Shack's new Cherry Blossom Shake is a limited-edition menu item available at most US locations this spring. Just as the name suggests, the drink is inspired by the pretty pink blooms of the cherry blossom trees. To achieve this rosy hue, the drink is made from a combination of vanilla frozen custard blended with real cherry blossoms. The whole things is then topped with [pink chocolate curls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godiva-chocolixir-drinks) for an extra touch of pink. If you're looking to get your hands on the new drink, avoid any locations that tend not to offer limited-edition menu items like those in airports, arenas, and sports stadiums.
