It seems that Dairy Queen has eschewed pumpkin spice in favor of cinnamon with its latest fall offering, the new Cinnamon Roll Milkshake. Though not a warm drink, this new shake is the perfect way to ride out warm autumn days and ease into fall.
Dairy Queen's new Cinnamon Roll Milkshake is a seasonal shake that's designed to taste just like a warm and fluffy cinnamon bun. The new drink starts with vanilla soft serve and milk, which is then blended with plenty of cinnamon. In other words, you can enjoy the taste of a sweet pastry without ever firing up the oven.
Of course, for those not ready to jump off the pumpkin spice train just yet, Dairy Queen's is also bringing back its fan-favorite Pumpkin Pie Blizzard.
