For a limited time this fall, Hard Rock Cafe is serving up a Halloween milkshake for adults called the BOO!-zy Shake. The milkshake treat combines a base of creamy vanilla bean ice cream with bourbon and dark rum, plus toppings like chocolate sauce, house-made whipped cream and candy corn sprinkles. As well as boasting a festive color scheme, the design of the shake seems to resemble cobwebs, thanks to the pattern of the chocolate drizzle within the cup.
Hard Rock Cafe is also sharing a non-alcoholic magic milkshake in the form of its Spooky Shake, which is also a limited-time offering. At some locations, Hard Rock Cafe will even be hosting a Lil' MonStars Bash for kids to show off their costumes, play games and create their own delicious treats at the DIY donut bar.
