🎙️ Episode Description: Cookout Cravings – Milkshake Mania: Exploring the Full Cook Out Shake Menu (All 40 Flavors)
If you’ve ever pulled up to a Cook Out drive-thru and found yourself frozen with indecision staring at the milkshake list — you’re not alone.
In this episode of Cookout Cravings, we’re diving head-first (well, straw-first) into the thick, creamy, and absolutely iconic world of Cook Out milkshakes. With over 40 flavors on the menu, and the option to mix and match, these shakes are more than just dessert — they’re practically a southern rite of passage.
So what makes these milkshakes so special? For starters, they’re ridiculously thick. Like, forget-a-straw thick. You’ll need a spoon — and a little patience. But once you get that first taste, it’s totally worth the arm workout. Each shake is made with real ice cream, packed with flavor, and served in a cup big enough to share… but you won’t want to.
We walk through all 40 milkshake flavors, break them down into easy-to-remember categories, and share some tried-and-true flavor combos fans swear by. Whether you’re into classic chocolate, fruity favorites, or want to sip on something adventurous like eggnog or banana pudding, there’s something on the list that’ll hit the spot.
Here’s a little taste of what you’ll hear:

Some locations let you go wild with combos, while others limit to two flavors — so we give tips on how to ask, and which blends are worth trying.
Of course, no Cook Out trip is complete without something salty to go with your shake. We talk about pairing your dessert with favorites like:
A Cook Out Tray with burger, fries & hushpuppies
