While other brands are serving up pumpkin and apple-flavored drinks, Whataburger is trying a different approach with its new White Chocolate Raspberry Shake.
A creamy and dreamy option for a nice fall day, the White Chocolate Raspberry Shake is like a dessert you can drink. Just as the name suggests, the drink combines a vanilla shake base with both white chocolate and raspberry flavors. As Whataburger's Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Rich Scheffler explains, "With the perfect balance of sweet white chocolate and tart raspberry, the Whataburger White Chocolate Raspberry Shake is love at first sip."
The new Whataburger White Chocolate Raspberry Shake is available now at participating locations for a limited time during the fall 2022 season.
