McDonald’s Grimace Milkshake finally launches in UK – but it’s only available for a week

McDonald’s introduced its Grimace Milkshake to UK outlets for a limited time, following its successful launch in the US last July and in Canada earlier this year. The iconic purple McDonald’s character Grimace inspired the blueberry-flavoured milkshake, blending blueberry syrup with a creamy milkshake base. Priced at £2.69 for a medium size and £2.99 for a large, the Grimace Milkshake is available at all 1,450 McDonald’s restaurants in the UK as well as through McDelivery, UberEats, and Deliveroo.

To celebrate 50 years of McDonald’s in the UK, the Grimace Milkshake is a nostalgic addition for fans. However, the shake will only be on menus until Tuesday, September 3, offering a limited-time experience for customers. Social media has been buzzing with excitement, with one user describing the shake as “stunning” and expressing reluctance for it to leave after a week. Another enthusiastic customer commended the shake’s taste, stating they couldn’t believe it was only available for a short period.

Fans have taken to online platforms to share their love for the Grimace Milkshake, with one suggestion for McDonald’s to offer an unlimited cup for keepsakes. While some diners have expressed delight over the shake’s taste, others have urged McDonald’s to consider keeping it on the menu permanently. The Grimace Milkshake’s arrival has brought a wave of positivity and enjoyment among McDonald’s customers in the UK, marking a milestone in the brand’s history.

As diners savour the limited-time Grimace Milkshake, the buzz surrounding this special menu addition continues to grow on social media. Customers are relishing the opportunity to indulge in the unique blueberry-flavoured treat, created in homage to the beloved Grimace character. Whether shared through online posts or enjoyed with every sip, the Grimace Milkshake offers a nostalgic experience that captures the essence of McDonald’s 50-year legacy in the UK.
