Seasonally Spiced Pumpkin Milkshakes

Jack in the Box's Pumpkin Spice Shake is a Limited-Time Treat

If you've already grown tired of pumpkin lattes and baked goods, Jack in the Box's limited-edition Pumpkin Spice Shake might be the perfect fall fix. Made with real pumpkin and bursting with seasonal spices, the milkshake is a tasty alternative to a pricey latte.

Jack in the Box's Pumpkin Spice Shake is a limited-edition menu item that is back for the 2018 fall season. The drink itself is described as an extra-thick milkshake "blended with pumpkin spice syrup that’s made with real pumpkin." The whole thing is then topped with whipped cream, gingersnap crumbles, and a sweet maraschino cherry for a creative twist on a classic Thanksgiving dessert.

With pumpkin spice showing no signs of declining in popularity, its clear that fast food brands are looking for creative ways to keep the flavor fresh year after year.
