Portillo’s Launches New Dr Pepper Shake and Cake Shake for Summer

Portillo’s is cooling down the warm season by teaming up with Dr Pepper to introduce two limited-time desserts: the Dr Pepper Shake and the Dr Pepper Cake Shake. These new seasonal creations blend classic soda flavor with the restaurant chain’s signature thick milkshake base.

A Unique Twist on Classic Summer Treats

The new collaboration brings the recognizable taste of Dr Pepper’s 23 distinct flavors into the dessert lineup at Portillo’s. Customers can pick between two distinct versions depending on how rich they want their dessert to be:

• Dr Pepper Shake: Combines a creamy vanilla shake base with the unique spiced sweetness of Dr Pepper for a smooth, refreshing drink.
• Dr Pepper Cake Shake: Takes indulgence further by blending an entire slice of Portillo’s famous homemade chocolate cake directly into the Dr Pepper milkshake mixture.

How to Try the New Dr Pepper Shakes

1. Locate a restaurant: Find a participating Portillo’s location in your area.
2. Choose your shake style: Decide between the standard vanilla-infused shake or the richer chocolate cake blend.
3. Order early: Place your order in-store, at the drive-thru, or through the restaurant’s ordering channels while seasonal supplies are available.
4. Grab a spoon: Enjoy your thick, blended beverage immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Tips for the Best Shake Experience

• Use a wide straw or spoon: The cake shake version contains real pieces of blended chocolate cake, making it extremely thick.
• Check local availability: These beverages are offered for a limited window at participating spots, so confirm with your nearest store before visiting.
• Share the dessert: Because the cake shake includes a full slice of bakery cake, it is rich enough to split between two people.
