Movie-Inspired Milkshakes

Black Tap Has Debuted a Mean Girls-Inspired Milkshake for October 3rd

Today is October 3rd and there's no better way to celebrate than to indulge in the exclusive new Mean Girls-inspired milkshake from Black Tap. Not only is the drink pink -- because "on Wednesdays we wear pink" -- but the whole thing is topped with delicious treats inspired by the iconic teen film.

Black Tap is a restaurant in New York City that is already known for it's over-the-top shakes. It's Mean Girls-inspired milkshake is no exception, with an extra-thick strawberry base. The whole thing is then topped with vanilla frosting, a rim of watermelon sour candies, whipped cream sprinkled with strawberry pop rocks, and a cherry. Black Tap has also elevated the shake with a sweet 'Burn Book' cookie and a 'Fetch' t-shirt cookie.

However, staying true to the movie, the shake is only available on October 3rd, so Mean Girls fans will have to act fast to sample this cinematic pink shake.
