Muddle or squish the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice together. then add the to a shaker along with the vodka, soda, and ice.make sure to shake it well.
Now take a martini glass and lightly wet the rim and dip it in sugar for a beautiful sugar rim. Pour in the liquid from the strainer making sure to strain out the ice. now you can add a lemon slice and some raspberries and a mint leaf for garnish.

Maple ice cream with waffle cone chunks and maple swirls... a true dream in a pint.
2. Cinnamon Roll

Cinnamon ice cream with big chunks of doughy cinnamon rolls.
9. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
I could do without the chocolate chips but the cookie dough chunks are on point.
10. Mint Chip
I like the fact that it's not an unnatural green color! But, again, I could do without the chocolate chips.
12. Black Cherry
Black raspberry is one of my all time favorite ice cream flavors and this one is pretty close too it... just a little more bitter.

Ice & Vice
Every cone from Ice & Vice is crazy. Some are stacked with full slices of cake, so you know that it's gonna be good.
Big Gay Ice Cream
Big Gay Ice Cream has awesomely inventive toppings that include everything from your basic sprinkles to Cheeto dust. One of their major perks is that they sell pints now too!
Taiyaki
I am obsessed with these ice creams, they are so adorable. Plus I am really curious to try the fish cone which is apparently waffle-like in texture.
Bona Bona Ice Cream
All of Bona Bona's cones are topped with toasted Italian Meringue which is basically the ultimate ice cream topping.
Eggloo
We all know waffles and ice cream is an amazing combo. Eggloo takes it too the next level making Instagramable and to-go.
Soft Swerve
Soft swerve has some really interesting ice cream flavors, but what really makes them unique is the flavored cones you can get.
Snowdays
Snowdays shaved ice cream makes it really light and refreshing as it is less dense than traditional ice cream. Their spoons also turn blue when they get cold which makes it even more fun.
Milk Bar
Milk bar is famous for its cereal milk soft serve. It's said to taste like the bottom of your cereal bowl. Weird, but yum!
Stuffed Ice Cream
Stuffed Ice Cream is famous for their themed cones and for their doughnut ice cream sandwiches. Their latest creation is a GOT themed egg.
Sweet Churros
Sweet churros combines two of my favorite things, soft serve and churros! They make each churro fresh in front of you so you know its good.
Milk & Cream Cereal Bar
Milk & Cream Cereal Bar also offers cereal themed treats. They blend in the cereal with the ice cream to make the ultimate dessert. The one pictured above is topped with hot honey to give it a spicy kick.
Supermoon Bakehouse
I have been dying to go to Supermoon Bakehouse because of how AMAZING their croissants look. Now that I know they have ice cream I'm definitely going. Also this is by far the most unique flavor of ice cream I have ever seen and it looks really interesting.
Little Cupcake Bakeshop
Another bakery I have been looking to go to because of their cookie dough cake, which looks amazing. I'm sure that their cake ice cream is just as good if not better on a hot day in the city.

Peanut butter cookies and cream
Chocolate and peanut butter is probably one of the most iconic and popular combinations. We even have a chocolate peanut butter shake as well as a peanut butter cup shake. I like my rendition because it's a chocolate peanut butter twist but with the classic feel of the Oreo cookies and cream flavoring and texture.
The most affordable way to try this combination is to ask for a cookies and cream with a peanut butter base.
Chocolate filled strawberry
One of our best selling shakes (also labelled as one of our Valentine's specials despite being sold year round) is our chocolate covered strawberry. The chocolate covered strawberry is a real strawberry blend for the shake topped off with hot fudge. It's certainly one of our better shake presets, but in all honesty hot fudge on top of a cool shake can result in some messy and slightly disappointing experiences.
My version of the chocolate covered strawberry is both a fresh strawberry and chocolate syrup blend. This has the benefit of not only maintaining your shake's consistency and temperature but also filling your tastebuds with both fresh fruit and smooth chocolate throughout the entire shake.
This flavor is best ordered as a very berry strawberry with a chocolate base.
Dark peanut butter cup
This one is rather simple chocolate peanut butter derivative. I've found that our Hershey's special dark chocolate is overall a different experience than our normal chocolate syrup, so combining our dark chocolate and peanut butter can make for a very tasty shake.
Even the coloration of the dark chocolate is much darker than the regular chocolate syrup, starting out nearly black. If you want a darker and more luxurious flavor, try replacing your chocolate shakes with dark chocolate shakes.
If your server is nice and wants to charge you the lesser price, you might get away with ordering this as the slightly less pricy classic dark chocolate shake with a peanut butter base. If not, it's not too much more for the specialty peanut butter with a dark chocolate base.
Chocolate birthday sprinkles
Since working at Steak 'n Shake, I have had a slightly wider worldview by seeing the different preferences people have. One of the more surprising preferences I've found both coworkers and customers to have is that they dislike chocolate syrup and ice cream but love chocolate chips.
One of the best ways to cater to this preference is to have a chocolate chip birthday cake shake. This combines the smooth cakey birthday cake experience with the creamy chocolate chips.
This decadence is paired with a higher price because it's a specialty shake to begin with, plus another mix in. This shake will almost unavoidably be simply a birthday cake shake plus chocolate chips.
Sparkling orange freeze
Our orange freeze milkshake is a very good choice for anyone seeking a fresh tasting shake. The logistics of making this shake has any shake spinner use water and syrup instead of using milk and syrup (don't worry, even this original intent makes for a tasty shake).
I have found the best way to spring up this shake's flavors is to use orange soda instead of water. Not only does this add additional orange flavor depth but it also adds a certain texture and flavor combination similar to a Coke float but flavored in orange. I don't even especially prefer orange soda, but an orange freeze spun with orange soda is one of my favorite twists.
Some other locations might similarly do this with all of their orange freeze shakes as I do, but if you were to ask your server to just mention it to your local shake spinner then you not only might get away with being charged for a mere classic shake but also they just might be converted to the sparkling orange freeze life.
Chocolate covered cheesecake
To my knowledge, every year's spring cycle that comes after the Valentine's specials includes the strawberry cheesecake shake. This is by far one of our best limited time shakes, consisting of a real strawberry blend shake with cheesecake cubes mixed in. It seems that the cheesecake puts in just as much work and character to the shake as the real strawberry chunks themselves put in.
I know whenever a varied cheesecake platter is set out, my first choice is always a chocolate version. If you prefer chocolate more than strawberry as I do, then you can add the cheesecake cubes into a chocolate shake for yet another delicious combination.
Hot fudge Coke float
This is, by far, the weirdest yet best combination of a shake I have ever come up with. By themselves, mixing hot fudge or Coke into a shake is a little weird but alright concoction.
When they're together, for some reason it just works.
When fully blended together, Coke, shake and hot fudge tastes both of hot fudge sundae and Coke float. It's quite the flavor experience.
Seeing as this is one of the weirder combinations I've come up with, your local shake spinner might be somewhere from weirded out to irritated upon receiving this order. Because of this, I don't exactly recommend trying it, but if you feel so inclined your server's best chance of conveying this is to ring it up as a chocolate shake and simply go to the spinner themselves to either make or explain the shake choice.
Of note is that this combination requires only a little hot fudge, as hot fudge inside a shake logistically isn't the best choice for longevity. Coke should be used instead of (not in conjunction with) the milk typically used in the shakes.
There you have it: the flavor combinations tried and true as a result of months of experience dealing directly with our shake presets and with less commonly paired ingredients.
Even the regular menu's shake presets allow for a good spread of flavors that can cater to just about anyone's palette. Unless you're lactose intolerant or dairy allergic, then it might not be a good idea to try your luck.
Normal shakes are fine and all, but it's nice to shake things up once in awhile.
