Baskin-Robbins is currently testing out its new sundae shakes in the city of Nashville, Tennessee. With summer just around the corner, many brands are rolling out chilly new drink and dessert options. This latest dish from Baskin-Robbins combines two iconic summer treats into a hybrid drink that is perfect for sweltering summer days.
The new sundae shakes consist of a creamy milkshake base topped with a scoop of Baskin-Robbins ice cream and traditional sundae toppings. Consumers can choose any combination of toppings they wish, including options such as whipped cream, chopped almonds, sundae sauce and even maraschino cherries. As of right now, there are three ice cream and milkshake combinations available to choose from.
While Nashville is the only market currently testing the chilly new treat, the drink may pop up in other cities later this summer.
