Both of the new offerings offer a tasty twist on a [classic spring dessert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-shortcake-juice). The new Strawberry Shortcake Milkshake starts with a creamy vanilla soft-serve milkshake made up of a blend of milk, strawberries, and cupcake flavor. The whole thing is then topped with whipped cream and a strawberry-glazed Doh! Ring pastry. On the other hand, the Spiked Strawberry Shortcake is a sweet cocktail made from a blend of Titos Handmade Vodka, strawberries, pineapple juice, and cupcake flavor – all topped with whipped cream and a sweet cherry.
