If you think milkshake is just for kids and adults whose taste buds failed to develop after their tenth birthday, that’s because you haven’t tried this mocha vanilla milkshake.
No fruit nor fruity flavor. Instead, there’s cocoa. And coffee. And mint! If, like me, you’re a fan of Andes chocolate, you will be seduced by the flavor combination in this anytime-of-the-day milkshake.
