This holiday season, Shake Shack has teamed up with Fortnum & Mason, the British retailer known for its luxurious teas and festive treats, to launch a limited-edition drinks menu available across UK Shake Shack locations from 5 November to 6 January.
The collaboration features creative twists on Shake Shack’s classic Shakes and Fifty/Fifty Lemonades, infused with Fortnum’s signature Christmas flavors. Highlights include ingredients inspired by Fortnum’s Christmas Merrilossus biscuits and its Christmas black tea.
“The shake blends bold tea with crushed Merrilossus biscuits and milk, layered over cranberry purée and finished with whipped cream and a Merrilossus biscuit crumble. The Christmas Cranberry Tea Fifty/Fifty offers a seasonal twist on our signature drink, pairing cranberry lemonade with Fortnum & Mason Christmas tea. We’re excited to delight guests across the UK with these menu items during one of the most festive times of the year!” said Peter Kayaian, Shake Shack Global Culinary and Product Development Manager.
