These milkshakes are no child’s play

Following the runaway success of Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! Cape Town’s signature Stoli-infused grown up milkshakes, Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! Melrose Arch is proud to announce the launch of its own exclusive and creative alcoholic shakes.

Indulge your inner child with something deliciously decadent with a very adult twist from the range of 11 different flavours which capture the essence of the South African palate.

Choosing just one would be a bit like having to pick your favourite child, so why not start at the top and work your way down the menu? Swirls of creamy vanilla ice cream form the base for cheeky treats like Patronage with a shot of rich coffee Patron, while The Don is the godfather of all dom pedros, traditionally made with Kahlua.

You can totally cheat on the whole “five a day” concept with Crème de Banana, a Sweet & Sour made with apple sours, R&R – rum and raisin of course, or even go Nuts About It with the sublime taste of hazelnutty Frangelico. Hey, they all fit into the major food groups if you think about it hard enough, as does Amarula, which is the key ingredient in the Elephant’s Trunk.

And never forget, chocolate is a vegetable too.
With a name that is so typically Jozi, Tequilsh is a whole new way to experience everybody’s favourite shooter, and the Springbokkie, infused with peppermint liqueur, is about as South African as you can get.

“Shake Up The Love” and seduce your partner with a love potion, or tease her sweet tooth with a Caramel Dare with caramel vodka.
Whether you have just one, or go back again and again for more, this is an exciting way to recapture the magic of childhood. Take it one step further and enjoy with a Protea Hotel Fire & Ice! Melrose Arch gourmet burger. Being grown up has never tasted this good.
