Two places in Panama City Beach are serving up these colorful shakes!

THE YARD MILKSHAKE BAR (www.theyardmilkshakebar.com) is located in Pier Park. Serving up specialty milkshakes with crazy toppings such as waffles, doughnuts, cotton candy, chocolate dipped bacon, brownies, and cupcake are all served in souvenir Mason jars. If you are designing your own, first, you’ll get to choose your size: pint or quart! Then, out of 29 flavors, you’ll choose your ice-cream…hard choice for sure, but you can choose up to 2!! Then, with what seems like the hardest choice, out of another 32 choices, you’ll pick up to 4 toppings. I never knew there could be so many beckoning choices!! Wait!! You’re not done! Now it’s time to choose a specialty topping!! Twenty-one choices and only one to choose! DONE!! There’s enough here to share with another person…or not!! If designing your own is too much for you, there is an already tried and true selection of a number of creations!

GULF COAST BURGER CO. (www.gcburgerco.com) is located on Hutchinson Blvd. Here, you can you design your own burger from some of the most innovative ingredients on the beach, but the design of the milkshake is left up to the menu and still may be the most innovative shakes on the beach. These are called “Cat5 shakes” and are guaranteed to rock your world!! There are 5 choices: Celebration, Sugar Rush, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Supreme and Cookies & Cream. Any one of those is sure to please! Come on mom…don’t say no! It’s a memory making experience for sure!!
