Pretty Purple Milkshakes

McDonald's is Launching a New Grimace Shake in June of 2023

— June 4, 2023 — Lifestyle
McDonald's is about to expand its menu in a colorful new way with the launch of the brand-new Grimace Shake on June 12, 2023.

For those unfamiliar, Grimace is a character featured in the old McDonaldland commercials. Grimace is easy to spot because of his large purple, rotund frame, and his big mouth. Like the character itself, the new Grimace Shake will be bright purple and berry flavored. The whole thing will also be finished off with whipped topping.

You'll be able to enjoy the new Grimace Shake on its own or as part of a new Grimace Birthday Meal, which includes a medium Grimace Shake, a medium Fries, and your choice of either a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets or Big Mac
