Steak ’n Shake shakes up popular 'Patriot Milkshake' with new, edible twist available only in 2026

Steak ‘n Shake is shaking up its "Patriot Milkshake" with a new, chocolate twist.

The milkshake will now be served with a dark chocolate Statue of Liberty, the company announced on Monday.

"Patriot Milkshake now comes with [a] Statue of Liberty. Yes fans, it’s dark chocolate," the company wrote in a post on X.

The milkshake, which debuted in December, is still priced at $2.50 and will be for the rest of the year, according to the post. The chain previously announced the shake would be available through January.

The company announcement included a photo of the milkshake, which features its classic red, white and blue sprinkles, an American flag on a toothpick and a dark chocolate Lady Liberty atop whipped cream.

The franchise first announced the milkshake in December as an early nod to America’s 250th anniversary, which will be celebrated in July, according to the company.

"Steak n Shake is getting a head start on America's 250th anniversary of its founding," the company said in an X post in 2025.

The announcement garnered positive feedback on social media, with one X users writing, "This is what [w]inning looks like."

"[Steak 'n Shake] continues to prove that they are the best fast food chain in America," Bruesewitz wrote in the post.

FOX Business previously reported that this promotion came as other fast food chains were taking different approaches to dealing with pricing and mounting cost pressures.
