Specialty milkshakes have surged in popularity in the past several months, which is seeing new options like the Johnny Rockets Sizzlin’ Bacon Maple Shake come about to the delight of consumers young and old.
The shake features a hand-spun vanilla ice cream that has been paired with whole milk and maple syrup before being topped with whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate and several strips of crispy bacon. This creates a savory taste experience that is sweet, creamy and salty, and makes it a perfect indulgence to enjoy this winter when looking for a different kind of desert.
The Johnny Rockets Sizzlin’ Bacon Maple Shake is available now at participating locations nationwide until mid-January 2019.
