Colorado hotel brings ranch milkshake with carrots, whipped cream and crispy chicken to spring menu

If you’ve never visited Colorado’s only Great Wolf Lodge hotel, I highly recommend it. It’s the kid-themed hotel with a giant waterpark inside of it in Colorado Springs. That being said, when you do visit, I can’t say I highly recommend trying their latest concoction…

Great Wolf Lodge has a special ranch-flavored milkshake this spring. There’s more to it than just ranch…it’s topped with carrots, celery, whipped cream and crispy chicken, plus a lime-salt rim.

It isn’t ranch ice cream, it’s vanilla ice cream mixed with ranch dressing. I’m not sure if that makes it better or worse.

They’re selling them for $3.10 apiece. They say, “Blurring the line between dessert and snack, it can be sipped (or gulped) like a shake or used as a dip, we won’t judge.”

Great Wolf Lodge will have the milkshakes beginning Thursday through March 20th. They say it’ll be at all their locations, which are spread across the U.S., including the Colorado Springs hotel.
