Drinks Menu

Think about your favourite kind of drink. Is it something fizzy? Something fruity? Something super cold and creamy? Chances are, Shake Shack has something you’ll love. Their drinks menu offers a nice variety to go with their delicious food.

Super Important Note First

Just like with the food prices, the cost of drinks at Shake Shack can change a lot! It depends on the location (which city or country you’re in), the size of the drink, and just general price changes over time. The prices I mention below are just estimates to give you a general idea (often based on US prices) and might not be what you’d find everywhere.

Also, it’s important to know that Shake Shack does not currently have restaurants in Pakistan (as of April 2025). So, this guide tells you about the drinks they offer in the places where they do operate. The best way to know the exact drinks and prices is always to check the menu at the specific Shake Shack location you visit (if you’re traveling!) or look on their official app/website for that location.

Okay, with that important info covered, let’s see what’s pouring!

Shack-Made Lemonades

These aren’t just ordinary lemonades from a machine; Shake Shack often makes theirs in-house, which usually means they taste extra fresh and delicious!  

• What They Are: A refreshing drink made from lemon juice, water, and sweetener. Shake Shack’s version often tastes bright and tangy, not too sweet and not too sour.
• Flavours: They always have their Classic Lemonade. But the fun part is they often feature seasonal or special flavours! You might find things like Strawberry Lemonade, Mango Passionfruit Lemonade, or other cool combinations depending on when and where you visit. These special flavours can change often, making it fun to see what’s new!
• Why They’re Popular: They taste fresh, they’re super refreshing (especially on a warm day), and they pair perfectly with salty fries or a rich burger.
• Price Idea: These fresh-made drinks usually cost a bit more than plain soda.
  • Estimate: Maybe somewhere around $3 to $5 USD (United States Dollars), depending on the size and flavour.
  • Remember the Rule: Prices vary! Check locally!

Freshly Brewed Iced Teas

If lemonade isn’t your thing, Shake Shack usually offers freshly brewed iced tea.  

• What They Are: Simple, classic iced tea, often brewed fresh in the Shack.  
• Options: You can usually get classic black iced tea. Sometimes they might have other options like green tea. A big plus is that you can often choose between sweetened (with sugar) or unsweetened (plain tea flavour).
• Why Get It?: It’s a less sugary option than soda (especially if you get unsweetened), it’s really refreshing, and it goes well with pretty much any food.
• Price Idea: Often similar in price to the lemonades, maybe slightly less.
  • Estimate: Expect around $3 to $5 USD.
  • Remember: Check the local menu for the real price!

Fountain Sodas & Water

Of course, Shake Shack offers the familiar fizzy drinks everyone knows.

• What They Are: Standard sodas poured from a fountain machine. They usually partner with Coca-Cola, so you’ll likely find choices like Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Fanta Orange, and maybe others like Dr Pepper or Root Beer depending on the location.
• Water: They also always offer bottled water (usually still water, sometimes sparkling too). And good news: often in US locations, you can ask for a free cup for tap water.  
• Why Get Them?: Sometimes you just want your favourite soda! They’re familiar, fizzy, and reliable choices. Water is great for staying hydrated.
• Price Idea: Fountain drinks and bottled water are typically the most affordable drink options.
  • Estimate: Probably around $2 to $4 USD.
  • Remember: Local prices will vary!

Shake Shack Shakes & Concretes!

Okay, now we’re talking about what Shake Shack is REALLY famous for besides burgers! Their frozen treats are so thick and yummy, they’re almost a dessert you can drink (or eat with a spoon!).

• Shakes:
  • What They Are: Super thick, creamy milkshakes made with real milk, ice cream (actually, their special frozen custard, which is even richer!), and flavourings. They’re hand-spun to order.
  • Flavours: You can usually get classic flavours like Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Black & White (vanilla custard + chocolate fudge sauce), Cookies & Cream, and sometimes Coffee. They also often have amazing seasonal or limited-time special shake flavours that are worth looking out for!
  • Why They’re Famous: They are incredibly rich, thick, and delicious. Made with high-quality ingredients (that frozen custard!). A real treat.
• Concretes:
  • What They Are: Even thicker than shakes! They start with dense, creamy frozen custard (vanilla or chocolate) and blend in different mix-ins like cookies, chocolate chunks, brownies, caramel sauce, fruit purees, and more.
  • Flavours: Shake Shack often has signature “Concrete” creations, sometimes named after local landmarks or themes specific to that Shack’s location! This makes trying Concretes extra fun when traveling. You can see classic combinations and unique local specials.
  • Why They’re Famous: They are super decadent desserts you eat with a spoon. The mix-ins add amazing textures and flavours to the rich custard.
• Price Idea: These are premium dessert drinks, so they cost more than regular sodas or teas.
  • Estimate: Expect shakes and concretes to be around $5 to $8+ USD, depending on size and flavour complexity. Limited-time specials might cost even more.
  • Remember: They are a special treat, and prices vary! Check that local menu!

Other Drinks You Might Find

• Beer & Wine (For Adults Only!): In some Shake Shack locations (definitely not all!), they offer beer and wine options for grown-ups (adults aged 21+ in the US, other ages in other countries). The selection varies a lot. This isn’t a main focus for them, but it’s available in certain places.
• Juice & Milk: Sometimes you might find simpler options like bottled apple juice or cartons of milk, often handy if you’re ordering for younger kids.

Why Prices Change & How to Check

As we said, prices depend on:

• Where the Shake Shack is (city, country)
• The size of the drink you order
• Ingredient costs and general price changes

The BEST ways to find the REAL, CURRENT price are:

1. Shake Shack App: Select your specific location.
2. Shake Shack Website: Find the menu for your location.
3. Menu Board: Look at the board in the restaurant when you order.
